Human in vivo talocrural contributions to ankle joint complex kinematics during walking, running, and hopping by Anja-Verena Behling, Lauren Welte, Michael J. Rainbow, Luke Kelly

“…The results showed opposing talus and calcaneus movements for many participants during different locomotor tasks, which may influence the magnitude and distribution of subtalar joint loading. In addition, the large out-of-sagittal plane movements and inter-subject variability in talus and calcaneus motion may further emphasize the need for personalised models to investigate treatments for ankle pathologies.…”

Problems of improving the national legislation on labor protection by K. Yu. Melnyk

“…It is emphasized that in Article 28 of the draft law, the last category of female workers is not given attention at all, which is not correct, since they also need special protection. In addition, the specified documents contain norms that are different in terms of content on ensuring the safety and health of female workers. …”
