Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint is to verify the change in gait pattern during running compared to walking. A gait pattern can only be expressed by several parameters of different segments and joints (hip, knee and ankle). These parameters are scaled measurements, expressed in degrees. To express the change in the deviation from walking to running, the difference of walking from the patient to the norm and the difference of running from the patient to the norm are drawn. The differences in running are compared with the differences in walking.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To answer the secondary objectives, parameters from imaging and instrumental motion analysis are used. The calculated joint angles and loads from the motion analysis, as well as the differences calculated from these are used to answer the secondary targets. The differences are calculated walking to running for the patients and walking to running for the healthy subjects and then compared. The variables speed, muscle strength, joint contractures, body mass index, sporting activity or pain are also obtained from the movement analysis. The imaging procedures are carried out as part of the treatment. Healthy subjects do not receive any imaging. Parameters for rotation and axis malposition are calculated here. These are related to the data from the gait analysis, the primary target variables.
