Initial Contact with Forefoot or Rearfoot in Spastic Patients After Stroke—Three-Dimensional Gait Analysis by Inês Mendes-Andrade, Miguel Reis e Silva, Jorge Jacinto

“…Additionally, G1 patients with abnormal lateral gastrocnemius activation in the swing phase showed increased ankle power at the end of the stance phase. Conclusions: In post-stroke spastic hemiparetic patients, the type of initial foot contact—forefoot or rearfoot—appears to influence gait characteristics, with rearfoot contact associated with a trend toward improved gait parameters, such as increased cadence and longer single-limb support.…”

Automatic Detection of Sports Injuries Based on Multimedia Intelligent 3D Images by Chunmei Liu, Longhui Cao

“…In the investigation of the parts of students’ sports injuries, it was concluded that the injury rate of the students’ ankle joints was the highest; in the investigation of the types of sports injuries among students, it was concluded that students were more likely to suffer from joint sprains; in the project investigation of students’ sports injuries, it was concluded that students were more prone to sports injuries in ball games with a large amount of exercise; in the investigation of the causes of students’ sports injuries, it was concluded that the main reasons for students’ sports injuries were physical insufficiency and a bad venue environment; in terms of the performance evaluation of the sports injury detection system, it was concluded that the accuracy, effectiveness, authenticity, and efficiency of the sports injury automatic detection system based on multimedia intelligent three-dimensional image processing technology had been improved to different degrees compared with the traditional sports injury detection methods. …”
