INTRODUCTION: This study investigated the effect of operative claw toe correction with release of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, repositioning of the plantar fat pad and resection of the proximal interphalangeal joint on foot kinematics, plantar pressure distribution and Foot Function Index (FFI). …

BACKGROUND: In the current study changes in lower-limb motor flexibility of patients undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction were evaluated in relation to fear of harm. METHODS: Fourteen patients were measured pre- and post-surgery, and data were compared to those of a single measurement …

A clubfoot is characterized by a three-dimensional deformity with an equinus, varus, cavus and adduction component. Nowadays the Ponseti method is the preferred treatment for clubfeet, aiming to achieve a normal appearing, functional and painless foot. The reoccurrence of clubfoot components in treated …

A rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common sports injuries worldwide, and also one of the most devastating injuries of the knee. An ACL injury happens mostly to young athletes (aged 14-40) who participate in landing, cutting and pivoting sports with fast decelerations, …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a common injury among healthy young people. Landing with dynamic knee valgus (DKV) is one of the main causative factor that could lead to ACL rupture. During deceleration phase of landing the increased valgus deviation can diminish the shock absorption capacity …

The aim of this study is to investigate the strength of the correlation between the foot progression angle (FPA) and the shock absorption (SA) capacity of the leg in healthy individuals during walking. 22 students were recruited. SA and FPA were measured with accelerometry during walking (20 steps). …

This study aims to identify kinematic differences between children with Ponseti treated clubfoot and age-mat- ched healthy controls during gait, using the Oxford Foot Model. This pilot is part of a large project comparing gait kinematics between children with Ponseti treated clubfoot with and without …

Background A key factor in successfully preventing falls, is early identification of elderly with a high risk of falling. However, currently there is no easy-to-use pre-screening tool available; current tools are either not discriminative, time-consuming and/or costly. This pilot investigates the feasibility …

Purpose: To provide insight on the effect of wheelchair settings on wheelchair mobility performance (WMP). Methods: Twenty elite wheelchair basketball athletes of low (n = 10) and high classification (n = 10) were tested in a wheelchair-basketball-directed field test. Athletes performed the test in their …
