NCT07161128
The study will investigate alterations in post-surgical gait patterns among patients who have undergone all arthroscopic microfracture and biological scaffold implementation surgery for the osteochondral lesions of talus. The gait biomechanics of patients scheduled for surgery will be assessed preoperatively using pedobarographic analysis. Subsequent changes in walking biomechanics will be evaluated and interpreted at the 6th postoperative months. Consequently, the impact of the all arthroscopic treatment of osteochondral lesions of talus on walking will be documented.

Background: Ankle-foot orthoses are frequently prescribed to reduce spasticity, position the extremity more properly, and regulate gait during the rehabilitation process of children with cerebral palsy. Objective: To investigate the effects of unilateral or bilateral use of plastic ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) used in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy (CP) on the child's gait and balance. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of unilateral and bilateral use of AFOs used in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy on gait and balance. Methods: 19 cooperative children aged 4-12 years, with gross motor function classification system levels 1 and 2, using bilateral AFOs were included in the study. Children were evaluated with bilateral AFOs, unilateral AFOs, and without AFOs. Trunk sway assessment was performed on the Bertec Balance force platform with eyes open and closed, and time-spatial characteristics of gait were evaluated with the GAITRite electronic walkway.

The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of landscapes during gait therapy. The investigators will evaluate the impacts of restorative landscapes as they occur in urban, rural and forest environments. Older people will experience those landscapes using virtual reality (VR) goggles during their gait training. The investigators expect the landscapes to have an effect on the following three aspects: (1) stress reduction, (2) restoration of attention and (3) change in gait parameters. For this purpose, volunteers who are currently inpatient in one of our study centers and already participating in gait therapy will be assigned to a group. The control group will receive the standard therapy. The participants of the intervention groups will receive five additional VR training sessions to the standard therapy. In these sessions, the participants will walk through urban, rural and forest landscapes and perform balance improvement exercises. The five training sessions will take place within ten days. Allocation to the control or intervention groups and their landscapes is random. At the start and end of participation, tests defining stress levels and gait parameters are carried out so that comparisons can be made between before and after treatment. The goal of the study is to find out which type of landscape supports restoration and can therefore contribute to greater gait stability. The investigators expect that improved gait stability will be promoted by stress reduction and increased attention induced by the virtual environments. The investigators are investigating the consequences of repeated application of virtual landscapes and the relationship between the effect of the landscape and the preferences and habits of the study participants.

The goal of this interventional study is to investigate how the gait parameters, pain, and posture of women who perform Pilates exercises during pregnancy are affected. This research targets pregnant women without any medical or obstetric complications who are experiencing physiological changes associated with pregnancy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do Pilates exercises influence gait parameters in pregnant women? Does participation in Pilates improve pain and other functional parameters during pregnancy? Participants will: Undergo assessments of gait and related parameters. Participate in a Pilates exercise program tailored to their trimester. Provide feedback on pain and overall physical wellness during the study period.

NCT06253624
The study will investigate alterations in post-surgical gait patterns among patients who have undergone all arthroscopic repair surgery for the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) due to ankle instability. The gait biomechanics of patients scheduled for surgery will be assessed preoperatively using pedobarographic analysis. Subsequent changes in walking biomechanics will be evaluated and interpreted at the 3rd and 6th postoperative months. Consequently, the impact of the all arthroscopic anatomical ATFL repair method on walking will be documented.

The purpose of this study is to determine the interlaboratory reliability of 3D gait analysis performed on healthy subjects on an instrumented treadmill in three different laboratories. This will allow us to evaluate whether the pooling of control data is feasible in future studies. This will support our ambitions to enter into future collaborations to conduct studies with larger samples. Moreover, this way we will know if we can share patient data in the future so that patients can be specifically referred to a lab with expertise on a particular evaluation, e.g. the lab in Maastricht has expertise on perturbations, UZ Gent has expertise on full-body measurements and UHasselt has expertise on balance. During this study approximately 30 healthy subjects will be recruited (10 from each center) from the staff and students at each center. These subjects are own staff and students of the 3 centers. Each subject will undergo a 3D gait analysis at each center (at UZGent, UHasselt and UMaastricht). Therefore, each subject will be evaluated 3 times. The time between each evaluations will be a maximum of one week. The evaluations will be performed as per standard procedure in each lab. However, a standardized model (HBM2 lower limb), an agreed walking velocity (0.9 m/s, 1.0 m/s, 1.1 m/s) and an agreed duration per recording (3 min) will be used. The same software will be used to process the collected data. 3D kinematics and kinetic time-series data of the lower limbs will be extracted as outcome data. Absolute reliability indices will be calculated in the following way: First, the standard deviation (SD) of time-series data across different gait cycles will be calculated per participant per center. The SD values across different centers per participant will then be averaged. Finally, the SD values across different participants will form the inter-laboratory reliability indices. In addition, we will use statistical parametric mapping (Anova repeated measures) to compare the full time-series data of each outcome parameter.
NCT03898544
The functional outcomes after TKA are satisfying with a full recovery at 6 months - 1 year. Nevertheless, the revisions of TKA have often lower functional results than primary TKA with a long delay of recovery. The Stryker TKA present the same device for primary TKA and for revision. The aim of this study is to compare the gait kinematics at 6 months after primary Stryker TKA or Revision Stryker TKA to assess if the objective outcomes are similar with this device.
NCT04715672
It is difficult to establish the standard of return to sports post anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and functional connectivity (FC) of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can explore the differences in neural function of different populations, but have not been applied in the study of ACL postoperative return to sports.This project intends to use ALFF algorithm to calculate the changes of BLOD signals of coppers and non- coppers after ACL surgery in the subfrequency band and the functional network in the subfrequency band, explore the relationship between the default network (DMN) and the sensorimotor network (SMN), and use three-dimensional gait analysis to carry out accurate functional test..This project will explore the central strategy of ACL postoperative functional recovery from a new perspective, to provide a more reasonable high-level evaluation index for the timing of return to sports, and to reduce the incidence of postoperative re-tearing.
