Gait Analysis and Gait Training in Patient With Total Hip or Total Knee Replacement

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee; Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip

• Registration Number: NCT03849638
• Lead Sponsor: Campus Bio-Medico University

Brief Summary

The main objective of the present study is the evaluation of the kinematic parameters of gait and distribution of the load, recorded thruogh a sensorized treadmill, on lower limbs in patients at 1 year from Total Hip Replacement or Total Knee Replacement.

The secondary objective is to evaluate the effects of gait training with biofeedback by means of a sensorized treadmill in patients with asymmetry of the kinematic parameters of the step and of distribution of the load on the lower limbs.
