Gait Modifications and Cutaneous Stimulation
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT02884414
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to quantify differences in joint mechanics between different
types of walking in healthy individuals and individuals with knee pathology. The
investigators will determine how modifying gait through feedback and/or cutaneous stimulation
changes joint loading.
