Corrigendum to “Center of pressure palindromes reveals a wobbling standing balance in scoliotic girls” [Clinical Biomechanics 113 (2024) 106217]
The authors regret a lack of information in Fig. 1 in the final version of the above-mentioned paper. This lack only concerns aesthetic and didactic aspects of Fig. 1, namely the circle around the center of the stabilogram (Fig. 1 c. and d.) and the allocation of the letters ATGC on the grid (Fig. 1 d. and e.). The authors confirm that the change does not affect the substance of the published work. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Distinct patterns of fracture propagation in distal radial fractures and the relationship to the ulnar head
There are two distinct coronal patterns: radial to ulnar ending c. 2 mm proximal to the distal radio-ulnar joint; ulnar to radial starting at the proximal distal radio-ulnar joint. There may be third pattern - transverse fractures; these may be variants of the above. Sagittally the main direction is volar to dorsal but 11% are obverse.This is the first description of distinct fracture patterns in extra-articular distal radius fractures. In addition the fracture patterns appear to correlate with different directions of force transmission which fit with our understanding of falling and the relatively uncontrolled impact o...

Gait asymmetries after fibular free flap harvest: A cross-sectional observational study
On the long-term, fibular free flap reconstruction has only a limited effect on the asymmetry of force-related and temporal gait parameters while walking on a treadmill. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

A finite element model of human hindfoot and its application in supramalleolar osteotomy
The relationship between surgical parameters and stress at the ankle joint in our study could further help guiding the planning of the supramalleolar osteotomy according to the varus/valgus alignment of the patient. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Strategies for knee stabilising and pivot-shift avoidance in a step-down and cross-over task observed sub-acutely after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction showed a knee-stabilising and pivot-shift avoidance strategy for both legs early in rehabilitation. These results may reflect an altered motor representation and motivate considerations early in rehabilitation. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Individuals early after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction show intact motor learning of step length via the split-belt treadmill
Despite disruption in afferent feedback from the joint, individuals after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can learn a new gait pattern using sensorimotor adaptation, retain, and partially transfer the learned gait pattern early after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This may be a critical time to intervene with gait-specific interventions targeting post-operative gait asymmetries. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Lower limb lymphedema disrupts both static and dynamic balance
Closing eyes and the deterioration of ground caused significant alteration of the static and dynamic balance both separately and together in patients with lower-limb-lymphedema compared to healthy subjects. Regarding the static and dynamic imbalance, we suggest the evaluation of balance and inclusion of balance exercises in routine lymphedema rehabilitation program, especially in the early period of disease.

Using mobile eye tracking to measure cognitive load through gaze behavior during walking in lower limb prosthesis users: A preliminary assessment
The results of this study showed that a mobile eye tracker may be used to estimate cognitive load in prosthesis users during locomotor tasks. This paves the way to establish a new approach to assessing cognitive load, which is objective and yet practical and simple to administer. Nevertheless, future studies should corroborate these results by comparing them to other objective measures as well as focus on translating the proposed approach outside of a laboratory.

Torque forces of expandable titanium vertebral body replacement cages during expansion and subsidence in the osteoporotic lumbar spine
The use of expandable titanium-cages for vertebral body replacement seems to be a primarily safe procedure even within the osteoporotic spine as torque forces required for subsidence of cages are nearly three times higher than those needed for fixation. Most of the expansion load is absorbed by straining of the dorsal instrumentation. Rod materials other than titanium may alter the torque forces found in this study. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Comparative analysis of gait: Similar coronal but different sagittal effects between closing-wedge and opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy
After osteotomy, a smaller average knee range of motion in the sagittal plane and a higher knee flexion moment were observed in the open wedge osteotomy group, suggesting quadriceps muscle avoidance. However, no differences in clinical scores or the short-term occurrence of patellofemoral arthritis were noted between the two surgical techniques. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)
