ADDED VALUE OF DYNAMIC EMG IN THE ASSESSMENT OF THE EQUINUS AND THE EQUINOVARUS FOOT DEVIATION IN STROKE PATIENTS AND BARRIERS LIMITING ITS USAGE

Added Value of Dynamic EMG in the Assessment of the Equinus and the Equinovarus Foot Deviation in Stroke Patients and Barriers Limiting Its Usage

Equinus (EFD) and equinovarus foot deviation (EVFD) are the most frequent lower limb deformities in stroke survivors.The equinus component can be triggered by a combination of dorsiflexor deficits, plantar flexor overactivity, muscle stiffness, and contractures.The varus component is typically sled shelf due to an imbalance between invertor and eve

Unveiling the pathogenic mechanisms of NPR2 missense variants: insights into the genotype-associated severity in acromesomelic dysplasia and short stature

Introduction: Natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (NPR2 or NPR-B) plays a central role in growth development and bone morphogenesis and therefore loss-of-function variations in NPR2 gene have been reported to cause Acromesomelic Dysplasia, Maroteaux type 1 and short stature.While several hypotheses have been qn50q80aafxza proposed to underlie the pathog
