Background: Although a cross-legged sitting (CLS) posture has been commonly practiced as daily activity, particularly in Arabic, Middle Eastern, and Asian societies, there is no medical study focusing on the effects of body balance muscular strength. Therefore, this aimed to investigate effect CLS lower extremity strength, electrical balance. Methods: Thirty healthy volunteers participated research by performing for 20 min duration. The tests included static test, i.e., single-leg-standing with eyes closed, assess if centre pelvis shoulders (CoS) moved, dynamic four-square-returning, moving speed changed. Regarding assessment, activity was assessed depending maximal value activation rooted mean squared values, while strength according maximum force limbs using sensor. results were statistically compared before after CLS. Results: duration decreased an average 2.5 s, or approximately 15.64%, (p < 0.05 *). Further, Centre Pelvis moved greater distances medial–lateral direction before, but CoS not significantly changed test. However, 0.2 8.5%, meaning that ability improved. Considering muscle results, only lateral gastrocnemius noticeably electrically activated CLS, hip extensor knee flexor muscles became stronger roughly about 14%, ankle plantar increased noticeably, 4%, Conclusions: had positive impact balance; extensor, flexor, flexion; all limb muscles, terms stimulation, except post-CLS pre-CLS. can be safely one’s routine any rehabilitation programme, patients who are suffering from disturbance. used many because first focused status, would supply knowledge new understanding, well provide clear insight research.

Optical metasurfaces, capable of manipulating the properties light with a thickness at subwavelength scale, have been subject extensive investigation in recent decades. This research has mainly driven by their potential to overcome limitations traditional, bulky optical devices. However, most existing metasurfaces are confined planar and rigid designs, functions, technologies, which greatly impede evolution toward practical applications that often involve complex surfaces. The disconnect between two-dimensional (2D) structures three-dimensional (3D) curved surfaces is becoming increasingly pronounced. In past two decades, emergence flexible electronics ushered an emerging era for metasurfaces. review delves into this cutting-edge field, focus on both conformal design fabrication techniques. Initially, we reflect milestones trajectories modern complemented brief overview theoretical underpinnings primary classifications. We then showcase four advanced emphasizing promising prospects relevance areas such as imaging, biosensing, cloaking, multifunctionality. Subsequently, explore three key trends including mechanically reconfigurable digitally controlled Finally, summarize our insights ongoing challenges opportunities field.

Universal coatings with versatile surface adhesion, good mechanochemical robustness, and the capacity for secondary modification are of great scientific interest. However, incorporating these advantages into a system is still challenge. Here, we report series catechol-decorated polyallylamines (CPAs), denoted as pseudo-Mytilus edulis foot protein 5 (pseudo-Mefp-5), that mimic not only catechol amine groups but also backbone Mefp-5. CPAs can fabricate highly adhesive, robust, multifunctional polyCPA (PCPA) based on synergetic catechol-polyamine chemistry universal building blocks. Due to interpenetrating entangled network architectures, exhibit high chemical robustness against harsh conditions (HCl, pH 1; NaOH, 14; H2O2, 30%), mechanical wear resistance. In addition, PCPA provide abundant grafting sites, enabling fabrication various functional surfaces through modification. Furthermore, versatility, multifaceted scalability indicate their potential engineering, especially withstanding in multipurpose biomedical applications.
