The ability of a footwear examiner to confidently discern features of importance in a forensic examination is directly related to impression quality. As a result, quality directly impacts the strength an examiner can ascribe to any opinion of source attribution. Despite the importance of image quality during both the analysis and comparison phases of an examination, there is limited research on the estimation, variation, and prediction of footwear impression quality.

Gait parameters and sarcopenia both predict falls risk among older adults. Our objective was to evaluate whether fast, easy-to-obtain measures of anterior thigh muscle by point of care ultrasound (POCUS) are significantly associated with standard gait measures. All subjects were referred from ambulatory geriatric medicine clinics at an academic center.

Background: Patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) often present lower extremity motor dysfunction. However, traditional radiography is a static assessment and cannot achieve long-term dynamic functional monitoring. Plantar pressure signals have demonstrated potential applications in the diagnosis and rehabilitation monitoring of KOA.

Article Synopsis
- Empathy is crucial in healthcare, especially with mental illnesses, and this study explored using virtual reality (VR) to enhance empathy in medical students.
- Medical students were divided into intervention and control groups, where the intervention group experienced a VR simulation of a day in the life of a depressed student, while the control group had a general medical student experience.
- Results showed that the intervention group significantly improved in perspective-taking and compassionate care, while their ability to stand in the patient's shoes decreased, indicating a shift in understanding mental health.

Purpose: This review aims to assess the impact of pain and limitations across self-care and domestic tasks among adults with disproportionate short statured skeletal dysplasia (SD).
Methods: A systematic search was conducted across six electronic databases without language or year of publication restrictions from the date of inception of each database through to 31 July 2024. Clear inclusion criteria were established before search initiation and quality assessment was performed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).
