Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the biofeedback gait training device in improving load bearing over an operated limb, during post-operative gait training therapy. The effectiveness of the device will also be tested in self-training at home.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To evaluate the effectiveness of the biofeedback gait training device as a biofeedback training therapeutic tool in improving body-weight bearing over the affected lower limb, quality of gait, level of ambulation and physical independence during rehabilitation, in patients after orthopedic procedures during gait therapy training, and as a biofeedback device for self-training at home.
