    TLDR Ankle braces reduce motion, while external focus improves hip and knee movements.
    This document is not related to hair loss, alopecia, or hair growth. It is a study on the effects of ankle bracing and attentional focus on landing biomechanics in healthy females. The study found that ankle bracing decreased peak dorsiflexion and sagittal range of motion, and peak inversion and frontal range of motion, but increased hip flexion range of motion. Regardless of ankle bracing, external focus of attention increased peak hip flexion and hip flexion range of motion, while decreasing peak knee valgus and knee valgus moment. Additionally, external focus of attention increased peak hip abduction to a similar degree when braced and not braced.

      Hair loss varies due to genetic sensitivity to DHT and other factors. Treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and microneedling.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
