No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study evaluates the efficacy of a gait modification intervention using real-time biofeedback on reducing the knee joint loading in Alkaptonuria patients during treadmill walking. It will also assess whether the individualised adopted gait modification can be retained without feedback and during over ground walking.

Conditions

  • Alkaptonuria

Interventions

OTHER

Individualised gait modification intervention

An individualised gait modification intervention to reduce knee joint loading. Knee joint loading will be presented in real-time during treadmill walking. A 10% reduction of each patients baseline knee loading will be used as a target threshold along with visualisation of the history of 5 previous steps. Patients are encouraged to determine their own gait modification strategy that is most efficient for them. Previous examples of gait modifications that mechanically reduce knee loading will be presented to them.
