5. Study Description

Brief Summary
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
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.
