The Motion Foot is a new foot/ankle system that offers near-normal ankle range of motion via a hydraulic ankle (ROM = 50 deg), paired with an energy-storing foot plate. This system has been developed to offer to above-knee and below-knee prosthesis wearer: 1) improved comfort, 2) reducedloads on proximal joints and 3) improved stability. Improved comfort and reduced proximal joint loading is ac...

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of droughts and heatwaves in Europe, leading to effects on forest growth and major forest dieback events due to hydraulic failure caused by xylem embolism. Inter-specific variability in embolism resistance has been studied in detail, but little is known about intra-specific variability, particularly in marginal populations. We e...
