简要总结
Therapeutic Knee Brace aimed at facilitating and correcting movements of the knee joint. The project will involve a two-stage study to assess its effectiveness on both healthy individuals and individuals with knee pain disorders with the tehrpautic knee brace and traditionally available knee brace.
Stage 1: Study on Healthy Individuals
-
Objective: To evaluate knee function in normal individuals under different conditions.
-
Method: Each participant will be assessed in three scenarios:
-
Without a knee brace (no external support).
-
Using the Conventional Knee Brace(the newly developed device).
-
Using a Therapeutic knee brace (standard brace available on the market).
Stage 2: Study on Individuals with Knee Pain Disorders
-
Objective: To evaluate the impact of the Therapeutic Knee Brace on individuals with existing knee pain or mobility issues.
-
Method: Each participant will be assessed under the same three conditions as in Stage 1:
-
Without a knee brace.
-
Using the Conventional Knee Brace.
-
Using a Therapeutic Knee Brace.
Outcome Measures
For both stages of the study, the pre- and post-intervention results will be measured immediately after brace use, using the following tools:
-
Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS): To assess pain levels.
-
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test: To evaluate functional mobility and overall movement efficiency.
The results will help determine the effectiveness of the Therapeutic Knee Brace in improving knee function and managing pain, compared to no brace and a conventional brace.
