Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Questionnaires 2. Anamnesis and physical examination by the orthopaedic surgeon 3. The H-reflex of the m. rectus femoris 4. Kinematics of Active Straight Leg Raising: how high can participants raise the leg, how long can they keep the leg in that position, is this dependent on experimental condition? 5. Muscle activity during Active Straight Leg Raising: relative timing, amplitude, dependence on experimental condition 6. Gait kinematics on the treadmill what are maximal and comfortable walking velocity, what are the relative phases of horizontal rotations during walking, what is the step frequency, how are these dependent on experimental condition? 7. Muscle activity durinig walking on the treadmill relative timing, amplitude, dependence on experimental condition	—
