Summary
The purpose of this study is to report the feasibility and determine the initial effects of 18 sessions of real-time gait biofeedback delivered over a 6-week period on retention and transfer of normalized gait biomechanics and improvements in indicators of early post-traumatic osteoarthritis development in those with an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) at 6 and 8-week posttests.

Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BEHAVIORAL | Real-time gait biofeedback | The RTGBF interventions will include eighteen step gait training sessions. The intervention will gradually increase to 3,000 steps at the 9th and 10th session with 100% feedback. During the remaining sessions, the intervention will include 3,000 steps, but the feedback will be gradually tapered off starting with the 11th session. |
| BEHAVIORAL | Sham real-time gait biofeedback | The Sham RTGBF interventions will include eighteen step gait training sessions. The intervention will gradually increase to 3,000 steps at the 9th and 10th session with 100% feedback. During the remaining sessions, the intervention will include 3,000 steps, but the feedback will be gradually tapered off starting with the 11th session. |
