Gait Modifications and Cutaneous Stimulation

Trial ID or NCT#

NCT02884414

Status

Purpose

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.

Official Title
