Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent tumors in men, accounting for about 7.3% of cancer deaths. Although there are several strategies for diagnosing prostate cancer, these are only accurate when the tumor is already at a very advanced stage, so early diagnosis is essential. Stanniocalcin 1 (STC1) is a secreted glycoprotein, which has been suggested as a tumor marker as its increased expression is associ...
Introduction: The ankle-foot orthosis is the most common non-invasive therapeutic intervention used to correct gait deviations, especially in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Several studies demonstrated that its use improved spatio-temporal and kinematic outcomes. However, biomechanical reports can be complex and may need experience to correctly interpret the results. Gait deviation indices, such as the Gait...
Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of motor disability in children and can cause severe gait deviations. The sagittal gait patterns classification for children with bilateral CP is an important guideline for the planning of the rehabilitation process. Ankle foot orthoses should improve the biomechanical parameters of pathological gait in the sagittal plane. Methods: A systematic search of ...
Background: Cerebral Palsy is a complex pathology that describes a group of motor disorders with different presentations and functional levels. Three-dimensional gait analysis is used in the assessment of CP children to assist in clinical decision-making and assessing outcomes in the rehabilitation process. Due to the CP intra-subject gait variability, it’s crucial to access the repeated gait measurements to ev...
