Study Summary

This trialseeks to study the effects of a walking boot on the spine & lower extremities and the potential benefit of a corrective foot lift.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy adults aged 18 to 40 with no lower extremity injuries in the past five years and no limb length discrepancies. It excludes pregnant women, minors, incarcerated individuals, those on parole or probation, mentally disabled persons, and anyone with a history of musculoskeletal issues affecting walking.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how a CAM (Controlled Ankle Movement) Boot affects walking mechanics compared to normal shoes and whether adding an EVENUp Lift can correct any imbalance caused by the boot. Participants will walk while their movements are analyzed.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves biomechanical analysis without drugs or invasive procedures, side effects may include discomfort from wearing the boot or lift device and potential strain during walking trials.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Compare the differences in kinetics and kinematics of the spine during normal gait and wearing a walking boot

Secondary outcome measures

Compare spine kinetics and kinematics differences in a walking boot with and without the use of a corrective foot lift on contralateral leg

Compare the differences in kinetics and kinematics differences in a walking boot with and without the use of a corrective foot lift on contralateral leg

Compare the differences in kinetics and kinematics of the lower extremities during normal gait and wearing a walking boot
