View article: Foot biomechanics in patients with advanced subtalar- and Chopart joint osteoarthritis and poorly responding to conservative treatment
Foot biomechanics in patients with advanced subtalar- and Chopart joint osteoarthritis and poorly responding to conservative treatment Open
Background A comprehensive insight into the effects of subtalar- and Chopart joint osteoarthritis on lower limb’s biomechanical characteristics during walking is lacking. Our goal was to assess joint kinematics and kinetics and compensator…

Clinical and Biomechanical Progression after Ankle Joint Distraction in a Young Adolescent Patient with Haemophilia Open
Ankle joint distraction (AJD) has been described to be a valuable joint-sparing alternative to arthrodesis or arthroplasty; however, clinical endpoints associated to this surgical intervention are lacking. The current case report describes…

Loss of Mechanical Ankle Function Is Not Compensated by the Distal Foot Joints in Patients with Ankle Osteoarthritis Open
Background Patients with isolated ankle osteoarthritis (OA) often demonstrate disturbed ankle biomechanics during walking. Clinicians often believe that this triggers the distal foot joints to compensate these altered ankle biomechanics an…

The Biomechanical Behavior of Distal Foot Joints in Patients with Isolated, End-Stage Tibiotalar Osteoarthritis Is Not Altered Following Tibiotalar Fusion Open
Ankle arthrodesis is considered to be an optimal treatment strategy to relieve pain during walking in patients with isolated, end-stage tibiotalar osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the post-operative effect of an art…

Blood‐induced cartilage damage alters the ankle joint load during walking Open
Ankle cartilage damage due to repeated joint bleeds often leads to altered gait in adult patients with hemophilia. It is therefore of clinical importance to develop an understanding of the biomechanical gait features in hemophilia patients…

The biomechanical behaviour of ankle and foot joints during walking with shoes in patients with haemophilia Open
Introduction Patients with haemophilia (PwH) often prefer shod walking over barefoot walking as footwear offers ankle joint stability and comfort during gait. Yet, the biomechanical mechanisms contributing to the latter remain poorly under…

Clinical gait features are associated with MRI findings in patients with haemophilic ankle arthropathy Open
Introduction Haemophilic ankle arthropathy due to repeated joint bleeds often leads to altered gait in adult patients with haemophilia. Aim To investigate the association between clinical gait features and blood‐induced ankle joint damage …

A novel magnet based 3D printed marker wand as basis for repeated in‐shoe multi segment foot analysis: a proof of concept Open
Background Application of in‐shoe multi‐segment foot kinematic analyses currently faces a number of challenges, including: (i) the difficulty to apply regular markers onto the skin, (ii) the necessity for an adequate shoe which fits variou…
