Published: July 2022

This article provides an overview of the soft tissue contributions to the normal structures that surround the talo-calcaneal-navicular (TCN) joint of the human arch. The TCN joint has a multiplanar range of motion that makes it essential to the kinetic coupling that links the forefoot and hindfoot. The soft tissue connection surrounding this joint is known as the spring ligament complex. More accurate knowledge of the anatomy of this complex will enhance the understanding of its role in the support of the head of the talus and, potentially, its critical interactions with the normal or abnormal function of the arch.

Pulsed electromagnetic field prevents tooth relapse after orthodontic tooth movement in rat models.

J Taibah Univ Med Sci

Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, East Java, Indonesia.

Objective: Relapse after orthodontic treatment remains a crucial problem. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) accelerate osteoblastogenesis and inhibit osteoclastogenesis. However, their effect on tooth movement during the retention phase of orthodontic treatment has not been studied.

Endo 180 participates in collagen remodeling of the periodontal ligament during orthodontic tooth movement.

Department of Orthodontics, Central Laboratory, Hospital for Stomatology & National Center for Stomatology & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases & National Engineering Research Center of Oral Biomaterials and Digital Medical Devices & Beijing Key Laboratory of Digital Stomatology & Research Center of Engineering and Technology for Computerized Dentistry Ministry of Health & NMPA Key Laboratory for Dental Materials & National Engineering Research Center of Oral Biomaterials and Digital Medical Devices, Peking University School, 22th Zhongguancun South Ave, Beijing, 100081, China.

Background: Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) relies on the remodeling of periodontal tissues, including the periodontal ligament (PDL) and alveolar bone. Collagen remodeling plays a crucial role during this process, allowing for the necessary changes in the PDL's structure and function. Endo180, an urokinase plasminogen activator receptor-associated protein, is a transmembrane receptor regulated collagen remodeling.

The clinical disorder traditionally known as or has been the subject of several publications over the past two decades. Now, it is understood that the problem does not lie in the posterior tibial tendon per se and may even occur without tendon injury. Studies have brought new concepts and understanding that question the views on this subject, culminating in the replacement of existing classifications with one that is more assertive and discriminative of the potential presentation patterns of the deformity.

Individualization of Footwear for Optimizing Running Economy: A Theoretical Framework.

J Appl Biomech

February 2025

School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, QLD, Australia.

Advanced footwear technologies contain thicker, lightweight, and more resilient midsoles and are associated with improved running economy (RE) compared with traditional footwear. This effect is highly variable with some individuals gaining a greater RE benefit, indicating that biomechanics plays a mediating role with respect to the total effect. Indeed, the energy generated by contractile elements and the elastic energy recovered from stretched tendons and ligaments in the legs and feet are likely to change with footwear.
