Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Motion Analysis Lab - Change in trunk stabilityBaseline, 6-12 weeks post-surgery, 1 year

Trunk stability will be measured by EMG frequency content and activation pattern during gait and postural sway.

Motion Analysis Lab - Change in functionBaseline, 6-12 weeks post-surgery, 1 year

Spatiotemporal measures including velocity, step/stride length, step width, single/double support times, and R/L temporal symmetriesm will be used to measure function.

Motion Analysis Lab - Change in gaitBaseline, 6-12 weeks post-surgery, 1 year

Gait will be measured by segmental and joint range of motion, peak kinetics during walking, and changes in deviation from normal bands using sensory processing measures.
