Clinical trials: Ankle Osteoarthritis
Ankle Fractures, Post-traumatic Osteoarthritis
Iterative Design of Custom Dynamic Orthoses to Reduce Articular Contact Stress
The proposed study evaluates the effect of carbon fiber brace design on forces across the ankle joint. Research suggests that ankle arthritis develops after ankle fracture, in part, due to elevated forces on the cartilage.

Ankle Osteoarthritis, Knee Osteoarthritis
Gait Asymmetry Assessed Using Portable Gait Analysis System
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.
