Plantar sensation associates with gait instability in older adults.
J Neuroeng Rehabil
January 2025
Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA.
Background: Advanced age brings a loss of plantar sensation, represented, for example, as higher sensation thresholds in standardized testing. This is thought to contribute to an increased risk of falls among older adults - an intuitive premise that has yet to be fully investigated, especially in the context of walking balance. The purpose of this study was to quantify the association between plantar sensation and the instability elicited by a suite of walking balance perturbations that differ in direction and context in a cohort of n = 28 older adults (73.

Support Care Cancer
January 2025
Department of Nursing, Nanfang Hosptial of Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, 510515, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Our study aim was to understand the (human and organizational) factors influencing fall risk among people with hematological malignancies using the Reason model as a framework, providing insights that can inform the development of safe and effective fall management strategies.
Methods: Purposive sampling was employed to conduct semi-structured interviews with 13 people with hematological malignancies and 12 nurses from the hematology department of a tertiary grade A hospital in Guangzhou from December 2023 to February 2024. The topic analysis method was utilized to analyze the interview data.
Temporal trends and patterns in mortality from falls across 59 high-income and upper-middle-income countries, 1990-2021, with projections up to 2040: a global time-series analysis and modelling study.

Background: Deaths related to falls are a substantial public health problem worldwide, and insight into trends and differences in global fall-related deaths can be valuable for identifying prevention strategies and developing effective policies. Thus, we aimed to estimate global fall-related mortality rate trends and forecast future fall-related deaths.
Methods: In this global time-series analysis and modelling study, we investigated temporal trends in fall-related mortality rates from 1990 to 2021 using the WHO Mortality Database, following the GATHER guidelines, and forecasted trends until 2040 across 59 high-income and upper-middle-income countries.
Patients with multiple sclerosis and low disability display cautious rotational behavior during gait initiation.
Clin Biomech (Bristol)
January 2025
Univ. Polytechnique Hauts-de-France, LAMIH, CNRS, UMR 8201, F-59313 Valenciennes, France.
Background: Multiple sclerosis induces locomotor impairments. The objective was to characterize the effects of Multiple Sclerosis on whole-body angular momentum control during gait initiation.
Methods: Fifteen patients with Multiple Sclerosis with Expanded Disability status scale of 2.
Lee's TRIAD-osteoporosis, fragility fracture, and bone health optimization.
Arch Osteoporos
January 2025
Beacon Hospital, 1, Jalan 215, Section 51, Off Jalan Templer, 46050, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.
Unlabelled: Osteoporosis, fragility fractures, and bone health optimization share the same pathophysiology, diagnostic tools, risk assessment, and treatments. Grouping them into "Lee's TRIAD" allows surgeons and physicians to collaborate more efficiently, using unified principles and strategies for managing these conditions.
Purpose: The primary goal of osteoporosis management is to prevent fragility fractures, which occur from falls from standing height or less in individuals over fifty.
