简要总结
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.

研究组 & 干预措施
Cutaneous Stimulation
Cutaneous stimulation and/or feedback. This stimulation and/or feedback may be visual, auditory, tactile (e.g. vibratory, temperature), or haptic and is completely external.
干预措施: Cutaneous stimulation (Device)
