Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Balance, as an essential function in human daily life and activities, can be defined as central nervous system input. Postural control can be divided into static balance and dynamic balance; static balance controls the oscillation amplitude of the body, and dynamic balance uses the body's internal and external information to analyze factors that influence the stability of interference (Such as walking, pushing and pulling),and to maintain postural control. The perfect combination of static and dynamic balance is key to normal activities of the human daily life.
100 patients, 80 with different grades of chondromalacia (Grade I, II, III, IV) with 20 participants in each group and 20 healthy participants in the control group will be recruited for the study to assess the effect of different chondromalacia grades on static and dynamic balance.
