Our latest contribution to foot and ankle research, just published in Foot and Ankle Surgery!

We’re proud to share our latest contribution to foot and ankle research, just published in Foot and Ankle Surgery:

 

"A game-changing tool in the assessment of foot first ray laxity. A clinical reliability study"

 

In this study, we introduce an innovative electromechanical device that allows for standardized and objective measurement of first ray laxity — a key factor in many forefoot pathologies.

 

This device brings unprecedented precision, and is the result of 5 years of collaborative development between the Centre ASSAL, the Geneva School of Engineering, and the University of Geneva.

 

Already recognized with several scientific awards, our technology opens new perspectives for more accurate diagnoses and truly personalized surgical decisions.

 

Our results demonstrate excellent inter-rater reliability, marking a major step forward in clinical innovation.

 

Congratulations to our authors and the entire Centre ASSAL research team for this scientific and game-changing achievement!
