Progress on Foot Assessment and Training to Prevent Running-related Injuries by ZHAO Xianli, LI Xinyu, WU Xubo, SHAN Chunlei, ZHANG Yihui, ZHANG Cai

“…This paper summarizes the common RRI foot assessment tools and reviews the current common foot intervention strategies for preventing RRI in the aspects of foot muscle training, foot strike pattern and pre-run adaptive training etc. It puts forward that runners can take RRI risk assessment before starting the running training plan and strengthen the weak parts of foot with reference to the neutral position FPI-6, plantar pressure distribution and arch form; runners can take a period of muscle strength training before increasing the intensity of running each time, and pay special attention to foot core muscle group training. …”

Uncertainty quantification of CT regularized reconstruction within the Bayesian framework by Negin Khoeiniha, Patricio Guerrero, Wim Dewulf

“…To achieve these goals, we apply a rapid regularized Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) reconstruction method [4, 5], employing the Metropolis-Adjusted Langevin Algorithm (MALA) [6] and its Lipschitz-adaptive variant (LipMALA) [7]. This approach produces a volumetric model where each voxel is represented by a probability distribution, which can be transformed into a triplet of gray-value models: one for the central value and two for the bounds of the confidence interval. …”
