Evaluation of Balance and Gait Weight Distribution in Patients With Vertebral Column Fractures

NCT05010135 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Last updated 2021-08-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Vertebral column fracture presents a significant warning of subsequent osteoporotic fracture and frequent falls. The presence of an osteoporotic vertebral fracture is also a predictor of further risk of vertebral and other osteoporotic fractures. This study provides balance assessment and gait evaluation for subjects with a known vertebral fracture.

Subjects are the known cases of vertebral fracture living in the community. They will be assessed for their balance and gait weight distribution by the TechnoBody for their balance ability, and the Zebris Gait System for the gait weight distribution. The Humac Norm for the lower limb muscle strength.

Conditions

  • Vertebral Fracture
  • Balance
  • Gait, Unsteady

Interventions

DEVICE

Zebris Gait System assessment for gait weight distribution + EMG evaluation of Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Tib Anterior and Calves + Positional Sense assessment

To measure the above parameters and to compare between the healthy subjects and the vertebral fracture subjects
