Clinical Trial: Comparative Effect of Training Methods to Reduce Forefoot Loading in Carbon Fiber Custom Dynamic Orthoses

U.S., Oct. 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07889765) titled 'Comparative Effect of Training Methods to Reduce Forefoot Loading in Carbon Fiber Custom Dynamic Orthoses' on Oct. 16.

Brief Summary: Carbon fiber custom dynamic orthoses (CDOs) include a full-length footplate, a stiff posterior spring, and a cuff that wraps around the leg below the knee. CDOs restore function after limb trauma, decrease forefoot loading, and reduce pain. However, initial introduction to a CDO is not consistent, so this study is being conducted to determine if different methods of training alter forefoot loading during gait. Unimpaired adult participants will be randomized to one of three groups: 1) no feedback, 2) ...
