How to ensure the safety and quality of padel courts: UNE standard 147301
Padel tennis is one of the sports that has become increasingly popular in recent decades. The European Committee CEN/TC 217 - Surfaces for Sports has recently adopted the Spanish standard as a reference on which to draw up a European standard. UNE 147301 is a mandatory standard for manufacturers, sports facility managers, installers and players, when it comes to establishing the quality of artificial grass surfaces for padel facilities, both from a technical and from a sporting perspective. Developed by AENOR's Standardization Technical Committee 147, which focuses on sports surfaces, it represents a before and after in the world of padel.

Clinical utility of NedAMHPlus/IBV in gait assessment. A case report
NedAMHPlus/IBV is a software application designed by the Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) to help the clinician to carry out an objective analysis of gait in a simple, fast and - of paramount importance - easily interpretable way, given that it focuses on detecting and quantifying the primary dynamic and kinematic deficits thereof. The following clinical case allows us to demonstrate the usefulness of this application in the process of interpreting the results obtained through this test and making therapeutic decisions based on those results.
