| the pre-treadmill maximum knee flexion angle between 2 braces during walking with a locking angle set at 30 degrees. On the day of intervention Gait motion analysis | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Brace migration distance after 20-minute treadmill walking On the day of intervention (after walking on treadmill 20 minutes) Measure by measuring tape by researcher,Association between Brace migration distance and post-treadmill maximum knee flexion angle beyond the set angle of the brace in each brace.
