Calcaneal spur (CS), a prevalent cause of localized heel pain, can significantly impact daily activities by causing discomfort and functional limitations. Symptoms typically include heel pain, especially during walking or after prolonged periods of inactivity, such as getting out of bed in the morning.

The choice of meniscus repair technique has effects on long-term outcomes and recovery. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 120 patients with meniscus injuries who underwent surgical treatment at Yuhuan People’s Hospital, Department of Joint Surgery, from January 2019 to March 2021.

Skin wounds, which affect survival and biological functioning, are common in the animal kingdom. This study systematically investigated whether the slow wound healing observed in humans is a unique characteristic within the primate order.

Soccer is associated with substantial injury risk, with reported between 13 to 35 injuries per 1000 player-hours of competitive play. Notably, approximately 77% of soccer-related ankle injuries are attributed to ankle sprain injuries (ASIs). ASI can lead to chronic ankle instability, obesity, and post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder characterized by nocturnally exacerbating pain that leads to significant sleep disturbances. The hormonal and metabolic changes caused by sleep disruption may increase the incidence of muscle-related diseases like sarcopenia in older adults, which is defined by a progressive loss of muscle strength and mass.

Resistance training is a well-known exercise therapy for preventing and improving lack of muscle mass, strength, and quality with advances in age; however, its effects on arterial stiffness are not beneficial. Additionally, a higher intake of protein, which is an effective nutrient for muscle health, results in lower arterial stiffness.

No previous studies have linked the progression of hallux valgus (HV) with plantar pressure distribution, based on available information. This study aimed to determine the progression of HV angle in elite adolescent dancers and evaluate the risk factors associated with foot plantar pressure during demi-pointe movement.

People with neurological disorders and foot drop may suffer from cognitive-motor interference during walking. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) targets foot drop during gait but its effects on cognition remain underexplored.

The choice of an appropriate type of orthosis depends on the patient’s specific condition and needs. Different types of orthoses can affect plantar pressure distribution during certain gait patterns. Toe and heel gaits are common patterns of gait assigned for optimal recovery in patients with foot or ankle injuries.
