A quick update on our gait re-training using real-time biofeedback study: Adam Clansey and Mac Graydon have been pilot testing the new system on subjects at Human Motion Research Lab at Hotel Dieu Hospital (Kevin Deluzio’s lab) and working with Shawn from C-Motion to iron out bugs and tweak the protocol. \u00a0Things are moving along well, and we will be starting to test subjects for the study within weeks! \u00a0Adam and Shawn (as well as other C-Motion team members) have such a vast knowledge of biomechanics and the software to measure it, and we’re really grateful to be able to work with them. \u00a0Pre- and post-testing will be performed at HMRL so we can get force plate information from their instrumented treadmill, and the biofeedback interventions will happen at Align to show that this tool can be effective as a clinical tool in the rehabilitation of injured runners. Here is a picture of the real-time biofeedback screen in its current iteration.   The screen shows the subject their hip adduction angle in real-time so they can make adjustments in their alignment to keep this angle within a prescribed range while they are running. \u00a0The hope is that subjects retain this movement pattern when they run after the study, and correct gait abnormalities and\/or asymmetries. \u00a0When the study has been completed, we hope to use this as a tool to rehabilitate injured runners in our clinic.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
