NCT04323969 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 3

Last updated 2020-10-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized clinical trial will compare the changes in performance, biomechanical and clinical outcomes before and after a six-week gait modification intervention. Participants with knee osteoarthritis will attend in-lab assessments and practice, while also performing daily, at-home walking tracked using a custom sensorized shoe.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Specific Modification Target

Participants will be instructed to increase their baseline foot progression angle by 15 degrees. Visual feedback during practice will be delivered using a mirror and guideline (tape placed on mirror). Verbal feedback will be incorporated to encourage participants to perform the modified foot progression angle as accurately as possible.

BEHAVIORAL

Self-directed Modification

Participants will be instructed to modify their foot progression angle as much as is comfortable. A mirror will be used during practice for visual feedback, but no specific target or guide will be provided.
