Article Abstract
Purpose: This study examined whether surgical approach-minimally invasive anterolateral or transgluteal-affects ground reaction force symmetry in THA patients during early rehabilitation.
Methods: Data from 37 THA patients (14 transgluteal (TGL) approach, 23 minimally invasive (MIS) approach) were compared to a control group of 50 non-operated adults. Walking speed, cadence, and ground reaction force were measured with Insole sensors over a 30-m walk.
Results: Significant differences in ground reaction force symmetry emerged within and between groups throughout rehabilitation. Early in rehab, MIS patients showed better symmetry, speed, stance duration, and walking ability than TGL patients. The TGL group differed more from non-operated individuals than the MIS group did.
Conclusion: Individual rehabilitation concepts specific to the surgical approach with the inclusion of modern visual biofeedback systems have long been called for. And in light of such clear results they should be developed as quickly as possible.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of postoperative swimming therapy on hind limb functional recovery in dogs following femoral head and neck excision (FHNE) using the symmetry index (SI) of peak vertical force (PVF) data from ground reaction force measurements and orthopedic evaluations.
Methods: From February 18, 2021, through February 18, 2023, dogs undergoing FHNE were randomized to swimming and nonswimming therapy groups. Hind limb PVF and an orthopedic assessment score were recorded at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively.

The quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) method is a powerful approach for investigating solid surfaces in contact with various types of media, since it allows for flexible modeling of complex interfaces while maintaining an all-atom representation. The mean-field QM/MM method is an average reaction field model within the QM/MM framework. The method addresses the challenges associated with the statistical sampling of interfacial atomic configurations of a medium and enables efficient calculation of free energies.

A series of Cu-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) with asymmetric coordination were designed to accelerate lithium-sulfur (Li-S) chemistry. The electronegativity contrast from the dopant induces a localized electronic asymmetry that amplifies Jahn-Teller distortion at the Cu center. This distortion profoundly modulates the Cu 3d electronic structure and its interaction with Li-S intermediates.

Background: While the plantar fat pad is known for its role in shock absorption and plantar force distribution during weight-bearing activities, its impact on running biomechanics is not well understood.
Research Question: Does plantar fat pad thickness affect lower limb biomechanics and plantar pressure distribution during running in healthy adults?
Methods: This cross-sectional observational study involved fourteen participants (18-50 years) who ran at their preferred speed on a 10-meter walkway while lower limb kinematics and ground reaction forces were recorded using a motion capture system. Plantar pressure and force on the right foot were measured using a pressure platform.
