Footwear Modification in Patients with Peripheral Neuropathy by Use of Three-dimensional Force Plate by Swati Saha, Sanyal Kumar, Anjani Kumar, Sanjay Kumar Pandey

“…Conclusion: This study demonstrates that neuropathy deteriorates postural balance and gait; the present evidence provides insight indicating that footwear interventions do significantly alter static balance performance in the neuropathy population. Footwear interventions seem to have the capacity to alter underlying strategies controlling static and dynamic movement patterns through a combination of mechanical and sensorimotor mechanisms, for which in-depth investigation of neurophysiologic responses to footwear interventions is necessary to help confirm any sensorimotor adaptations.…”

C60 fullerene helps restore muscle soleus contraction dynamics after achillotomy-induced atrophy by Dmytro Nozdrenko, Kateryna Bogutska, Іhor Pampuha, Mykola Petrovsky, Yuriy Prylutskyy

“…The 45th day after atrophy is considered to be the limit for the fastest recovery of the muscle after immobilization, the further process takes place over several months. In all the tests performed, the therapeutic admini­stration of water-soluble C60 fullerenes (dose 1 mg/kg) an increase in biomechanical parameters was recorded (maximum force of contraction – the change in the form of the “stimulation – force contraction” dependence is a consequence of the development of the pathological process in muscle and the muscle force impulse, which allows assessing the performance of the muscular system after a long-term immobilization), by approximately 29–49±2 % for the maximum contraction force and by 21–37±2 % for the muscle force impulse compared to the atrophy group for 15, 30 and 45 days. …”
