Gait characteristics (joint angle and torque) are measured using high-speed video and a force plate with 59 reflective markers at baseline (0 minute), infusion (8 minutes), and treatment (38 minutes) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Perceived knee pain is measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) under hypertonic saline infusion 2. Gait characteristics (joint angle and torque) are measured using high-speed video and a force plate with 59 reflective markers under hypertonic saline infusion | — |
