About this study

High incidence rate of knee osteoarthritis and gait analysis are important for early assessment of biomechanics. ACL injury is an ideal clinical model for studying knee osteoarthritis.

To clarify the mechanism between the biomechanical status of knee joint and the change of gait touch information, and to provide scientific basis for quantifying and evaluating the biomechanical status of knee joint in dynamic load-bearing state.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of the disease, diagnose the disease by computer and evaluate the rehabilitation based on gait touch information after ACL rupture and reconstruction, combined with the methods of multi-body dynamics, machine learning and biomechanics analysis. Methods: 55 healthy volunteers, 55 patients with ACL rupture were recruited. Three dimensional gait analysis and dynamic plantar pressure were used to test the kinematic and dynamic data of lower limbs and gait touch information when walking, jogging, stopping and jumping, and running side cutting.

Outcome evaluation indexes and statistical methods:

the following indexes were measured repeatedly by two factor ANOVA method, and the left and right sides and different rehabilitation time were used as the variables of repeated measurement: the biomechanics of the lower limb joint and the change of the biological characteristics of gait touch information were analyzed. To study the biomechanical status of different knee joints and the mechanism of the change of gait touch information. Finally, based on the information of gait touch, a biomechanical evaluation model of knee joint during walking or jogging is established, which provides the exact basis for quantifying and evaluating the biomechanical state of knee joint under the dynamic load-bearing state of gait touch information.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. walking speed

    Three-dimensional gait analysis system and plantar pressure were used during walking, jogging, cutting and jumping.

    Measured: On the day of enrollment.

  2. ground reaction force

    Three-dimensional gait analysis system and plantar pressure were used during walking, jogging, cutting and jumping.

    Measured: On the day of enrollment.

  3. knee flexion angle

    Three-dimensional gait analysis system and plantar pressure were used during walking, jogging, cutting and jumping.

    Measured: On the day of enrollment.

  4. the moment of knee extension in the gait cycle

    Three-dimensional gait analysis system and plantar pressure were used during walking, jogging, cutting and jumping.

    Measured: On the day of enrollment.

  5. the moment of knee flexion in the gait cycle

    Three-dimensional gait analysis system and plantar pressure were used during walking, jogging, cutting and jumping.

    Measured: On the day of enrollment.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score

    The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score was used to evaluate the knee health.The patients completed score by themselves. The lowest score is 0 and the highest score is 100. The higher is better.

    Measured: On the day of enrollment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

walking speed (time frame: On the day of enrollment.). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jul 2020.
