Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are proud to present the 2nd edition of the Topic, “The Use of New Technologies for Health and Clinical Practice”.

This follows the success of the previous edition, which included a large number of manuscripts spanning a variety of topics in new technology applications in health and clinical practice, and can be found at https://www.mdpi.com/topics/062X7Z39ID.

Technology has the potential to promote healthy lifestyles by reducing sedentary behaviors in both healthy and pathological populations. The use of new, valid, and accurate technologies and their continued study and progression allow clinicians and trainers to improve patient evaluations and tailor training or rehabilitation programs, thereby ensuring individualized, targeted care. In particular, the use of online technology is a relatively new approach to delivering healthcare assistance, especially following the outbreak of COVID-19. This issue encourages in-depth studies and literature reviews that highlight the role of technologies in the promotion of health and healthy behaviors in general and pathological populations.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.

Background: Clinical procedures involving the tibial nerve (TN) are complex procedures due to its deep anatomical position and the variability of its course in the retromalleolar region. Few studies have described the ultrasound characteristics of the TN in vivo. This study aims to describe the ultrasound position of the TN and its relationship with the posterior tibial artery (PTA) at the retromalleolar level, evaluating the influence of sex, weight, height, and body mass index (BMI). Methods: A cross-sectional ultrasound study was performed on 100 volunteers. Anthropometric variables were recorded. Ultrasound measurements included the TN perimeter, distance from the medial malleolus to the TN center, depth, and spatial relationship with the PTA. Statistical analyses included Student’s t-test, ANOVA, Chi-square test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The mean distance from the TN to the medial malleolus was 2.17 cm, and its mean depth was 0.91 cm. The most common anatomical pattern was Type I (TN posterior to the PTA) (60%). Sex influenced TN position, with men showing greater distances from the medial malleolus to the TN center (2.42 vs. 1.99 cm) and women showing greater depth from the skin surface to the upper edge of the tibial nerve perimeter (0.94 vs. 0.86 cm). Weight (p = 0.004), height (p < 0.001), and ankle circumference (p = 0.006) correlated significantly with TN location, whereas BMI did not (p = 0.253). Conclusion: These findings provide clinically relevant reference data that may improve the precision and safety of different tibial nerve procedures. Full article
