The dynamic nature of the population makes it necessary to have reliable and updated data on human foot dimensions. Many factors are responsible for different forms structures foot, such as age, gender, nutrition, genetic composition, among others. This study was carried out optimize analyse various dimensions female subjects. A total 200 subjects participated willingly in study, 27-foot measur...

Abstract Objective to investigate the association of inflammatory biomarkers on locomotor pattern during obstacle avoidance with different levels complexity manipulated by characteristic (solid and fragile) in older adults. Method 17 adults (≥60 years old) were evaluated two moments: 1) Analysis crossing conditions fragile). The variables studied for trailing leading limbs were: speed, length, ...

foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) is a major cause of endemic outbreaks in livestock in iran. in this study, clinical field samples of foot-and-mouth disease virus were collected from an outbreak in khorasan razavi province during april and august of 2010, and subjected to indirect sandwich elisa and rt-pcr. the viral serotype circulating during the period was confirmed to be type o. the virus was t...

During human walking, perturbations to the upper body can be partly corrected by placing the foot appropriately on the next step. Here, we infer aspects of such foot placement dynamics using step-to-step variability over hundreds of steps of steady-state walking data. In particular, we infer dependence of the 'next' foot position on upper body state at different phases during the 'current' step...

Bio-inspired compound feet with spines and foot pads were made to improve the take off performance of the Flea, a jumping robot that can jump 30 times its body length. A no-slip model of the flea was used to compare the performance of the flea with and without spines and foot pads on styrofoam, sandpaper 60Cw, and Teflon. On styrofoam, the flea with spines increased its kinetic energy by 65%, b...

This patient was a Hindoo, 22 years of age. Description of the deformity.?The bones of the second and third toes of the left foot are very much enlarged. Each toe measures three inches in length and two and a half inches in circumference. The terminal phalanges are slightly curved towards one another, giving the part a claw-like appearance. The metatarsal bones are enlarged proportionately to t...

Prompt clinical diagnosis and timely treatment are the hallmarks of the proper care of diabetic patients with foot infections. The importance of careful clinical foot examination cannot be overemphasized. When infection is suspected, effort should be made to search for deeper infections, especially osteomyelitis. Numerous imaging techniques are available, but their cost-effectiveness has not be...
