Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Knee joint kinematics (sagittal, frontal, and transverse rotation; anteroposterior and mediolateral translation) during gait, recorded using a 3D camera system 1–4 days preoperatively and 21–28 days postoperatively. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Knee joint moments in the sagittal and frontal during walking and turning; Ground reaction forces during gait and turning; Gait symmetry score; Muscle activity of the biceps femoris, the medial hamstrings or semitendinosus/semimembranosus muscles, as well as the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and rectus femoris muscles during walking and turning; Positional stability of the ortheses during walking Wearing comfort and perveiced stability | — |
