U.S., June 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07014098) titled 'Robot-Aided Off-Axis Neuromuscular Training for Knee OA' on April 25.
Brief Summary: Although the primary knee motion occurs in flexion/extension, the frontal and transverse (off-axis) knee motions are smaller but crucial for maintaining joint stability and normal knee loading. Altered kinematics and neuromuscular control in off-axis knee motions have been reported in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), which are associated with excessive knee loading and the progression of knee OA. However, traditional rehabilitative treatments for people with knee OA and existing exercise equipment often focus on sagittal plane movement. Proba...
