Water Based Soil Fluidization using a Soft Eversion Robot
… in 2017. Its method of movement, known as eversion, closely resembles the way that a vine grows along a tree, giving it its name. The focus of this research was to take its proven abilities of underwater vine-like movement and soil fluidization, a process where granular materials are …

Longterm peripheral baroreflex and chemoreflex function after bilateral eversion carotid endarterectomy
Introduction The “eversion” technique for carotid endarterectomy (e-CEA), that involves the transection of the internal carotid artery at the carotid bulb and its eversion over the atherosclerotic plaque, has been associated with an increased risk of postoperative hypertension possibly due to a …

Two-channel surface stimulation for the correction of drop foot.
… promote dorsiflexion to avoid tripping, and mild eversion for stability during loading. Traditional transcutaneous FES systems require the accurate positioning of surface electrodes on the skin so that the appropriate nerves are activated to give the desired muscle response. Many people find …

Kinematic coupling between the foot and lower limb during gait
… of two adjacent segments (e. g rearfoot eversion/inversion with shank intemal/external rotation) were in both spatial and temporal terms using both discrete point and cross correlation analyses. RESULTS: Although the in-vitro study suggested care should be taken when interpreting data …

The acute effects of taping on proprioception in the ankle with previous inversion sprain
… have worse proprioception in the inversion/eversion plane, when compared to a control ankle and to examine whether taping the ankle improves proprioception. The most common sporting based injuries are to the ankle. The correct instruction for rehabilitation may decrease the risk of …

The kinetics, kinematics and energy requirements of distance running: Implications for footwear design
… was associated with significant increases in eversion and tibial internal rotation whilst overground runners exhibited greater peak tibial accelerations. It was concluded that treadmill runners are likely to require footwear with additional medial stability properties, aimed at reducing …

Biomechanical and comfort analyses on the use of commercial insoles while walking and running
… Results: The Currex insole reduced ankle eversion and peak midfoot pressure during walking, while reducing peak toe and average whole foot pressure during running. However, the regular running shoe was still preferred over the Currex insole by a higher percentage of participants, 55% to …

Kinematics at the ankle joint complex in rheumatoid arthritis
… with significant alteration of inversion/eversion and internal/external rotation. With foot orthoses the inversion/eversion angular rotations were almost fully restored to normal, but little effect was observed for internal/external rotation. The rheumatoid arthritis patients underwent …

Rearfoot biomechanics in Achilles tendon function
… free subjects. The mean reduction in rearfoot eversion due to the foot orthosis was 3.91° for walking and 2.29° for running. In the second experimental study changes in tension on the medial and lateral sides of the Achilles tendon where studied during inversion/eversion movement of the …

Morphology of the Ankle Collateral Ligaments: Functional and Clinical Considerations
… fibular tubercle. The CFL resists dorsiflexion, eversion and fibular abduction, and external rotation. The posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL) was attached proximally to the malleolar fossa of the lateral malleolus 9.75 mm from the tip and inserted all the way into the posterolateral surface of …

Investigating the mechanical relationship between the feet and low-back
… these positions ranged from 15 degrees of foot eversion to 15 degrees of foot inversion and 11 positions ranged from 40 degrees of external foot rotation to 40 degrees of internal foot rotation. Six cameras surrounded the motion capture area and angles of pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis were …

Everted Sanctuaries: Increments of Silence
Eversion is a biological term for the ability of an organism to turn itself inside out. For example, a sea cucumber can eject its internal organs to distract attacking predators. The sea cucumber sacrifices some vital functions for ultimate survival. Similarly, many introverts have become adept at …

Ankle Kinetics During Landing Tasks in Participants with Chronic Ankle Instability and Uninjured Controls
… moments (plantarflexion/dorsiflexion, inversion/eversion, internal/external rotation) and ankle net joint forces (axial, anterior/posterior, medial/lateral) at any time point from ground contact to 150 ms after. We conclude that those with CAI do not suffer from an alteration in motor …

Mechanical bracing solutions to decrease tibial slippage of Anklebot
… due to high tolerances in the inversion-eversion joint at the heel of the shoe. The waist support system decreases slippage when enough bungees were attached. Further work on the waist support system is recommended.

Cephalometric Analysis of Soft Tissue Profile Change Associated with Orthodontics and Orthognathic Surgery : A Long-Term Study
… surgical site closure, interlabial distance and eversion of the lower lip. Preoperative and long-term postoperative lateral cephalograms were traced for 327 patients (231 females, 96 males) who had been treated with orthognathic surgery (108 Le Fort I, 109 mandibular sagittal split, 110 combined …

Ankle mechanical impedance under muscle fatigue
… in both the dorsi-plantarflexion and inversion-eversion directions under tibialis muscle fatigue. However, the effect of triceps surae on ankle mechanical impedance is uncertain since the current experimental protocol could not effectively induce fatigue in triceps surae.

Coordination of lower limb movement utilizing the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface
… musculature to intended subtalar inversion and eversion kinematics. In a case study, the developed neuromusculoskeletal modeling techniques are applied to optimize a dynamic subtalar model for use by a unilateral subject with amputation possessing the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface. The …

Design and analysis of diagnostic machines utilizing compliant mechanisms
… (plantarflexion/dorsiflexion and inversion/eversion) are dependent on a subject's own development.

Quantitative characterization of multi-variable human ankle mechanical impedance
… direction dependent, being weak in the inversion-eversion direction. Activating a single muscle or co-contracting antagonistic muscles significantly increased static ankle impedance in all directions but more in the dorsiflexion-plantarflexion direction than the inversion-eversion. Static ankle …
