Whole-body depth camera gait analysis with artificial intelligence for recognizing anterior cruciate ligament deficient gait compared with healthcare professionals

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can be missed during the initial evaluation because compensatory strategies may conceal subtle gait abnormalities. We evaluated the accuracy with which healthcare professionals recognize ACL deficient gait from brief visual observation and...

Macrophage-driven pathological ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament: mechanistic insights and therapeutic opportunities
