Overview
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.
