Twenty-five participants with diagnosed unilateral medial knee OA and 84 healthy participants, with no known knee pathology were recruited.

More than 100 million U.S. adults have diabetes or prediabetes, health officials say.
As of 2015, more than 9 percent of the population -- 30.3 million -- had diabetes. Another 84.1 million had prediabetes, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported recently.
People with prediabetes have elevated blood sugar levels, but not so high that they have full-blown diabetes, which requires medication or insulin injections. With exercise and a healthy diet, prediabetics can halve their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, the CDC noted.

One-third of diabetic foot ulcers fail standard of care treatment (which involves debridement, offloading, moist wound therapy and bioburden control), and enter a state of chronically impaired healing. Along with abnormally expressed growth factors and cytokines in DFUs, there is impaired extracellular matrix remodeling and deregulation of protease levels that researchers widely believe result in chronic inflammation, a principal factor with delayed healing.

Recent evidence suggests that impaired central sensorimotor integration may contribute to deficits in movement control experienced by people with chronic ankle instability. This study compared the effects of dual-task and walking speed on gait variability in individuals with and without CAI.

There are four primary reasons patients like having access to the notes doctors and other clinicians write after a visit and include in their electronic health record, according to a new study.
With an increasing number of healthcare organizations offering patients access to their EHRs, including visit notes, via patient portals, researchers at OpenNotes and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston wanted to know what patients value about the process. They reported their findings in a study in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.

The aims of this study were to investigate the relationship between plantar plate pathology and clinical, biomechanical and plain radiography findings in the painful forefoot of patients with RA. Secondly, to compare plantar plate pathology at the symptomatic lesser (2nd-5th) MTP joints in patients with RA, with a group of healthy age and gender matched control subjects without foot pain.

Nicholas A Campitelli DPM FACFAS writes:
"I have had several runners over the past several months present with hallux limitus and surgery was indicated to remove fragments and prevent further joint degradation. Hallux limitus can sometimes present as a slow, debilitating injury in runners. In these cases, it will be painful enough to bring them into your office but not enough to stop them from running."
