Background Permanent deformation of the tendons surrounding the ankle joint can occur in individuals suffering from chronic ankle instability (CAI), which is a long-term disability that can result from recurrent ankle sprains. Lateral ankle buckling causes sudden instances of ankle inversion-eversion (IE) in the frontal plane, which creates excessive...

Semiconductor lasers able to emit over the full visible color spectrum have a wide range of practical applications such as solid-state lighting, full-color displays, visible color communications, and multi-color fluorescence sensing. To the human eye, light with a mixture of four monochromatic lasers is visually equivalent to a white illuminant. Current...
