Summary

To date, detailed analysis of movement patterns in orthopaedic conditions are mainly performed in research projects. Because these tests are time consuming, they are not feasible in clinical routine or in standard examinations. Novel technologies allow capturing detailed movement patters within a few minutes. The aim of this regional study is to compare aspects of movement tasks measured using a mobile gait analysis system to those measured using laboratory based systems and to determine aspects of gait patterns relevant for different orthopaedic conditions. Moreover, the researchers will investigate if these relevant aspects can be altered using surgical treatment or manual therapy.

Detailed description

This is a cross-sectional study. Pre- and post-treatment data will only be collected in patients undergoing routine orthopaedic treatment.

Conditions

• Ankle Osteoarthritis
• Knee Osteoarthritis
• Hip Osteoarthritis
• Lumbar Spine Stenosis
• Muscle Contracture

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	arthroplasty	patients, who are scheduled for arthroplasty, will be measured before and on average 6 months after surgery
OTHER	manual therapy	patients, who are scheduled for manual therapy, will be measured before, immediately and on average 1 week after treatment
PROCEDURE	lumbar spinal stenosis decompression	patients, who are scheduled for lumbar spinal stenosis decompression, will be measured before and on average 6 months after surgery
