Summary

This study tested whether special treadmill training before knee replacement surgery could help prevent falls afterward. Participants practiced recovering from trips or pushes on a treadmill. The trial was stopped early and only enrolled 5 people, so it is not clear if the training helps.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Treadmill-based perturbation training
What this could lead to
If effective, this training could help people avoid falls after knee replacement surgery.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early with only 5 participants, so it is unclear if the training works. Results may not be reliable.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of endstage knee osteoarthritis requiring total knee arthroplasty (TKA). TKA scheduled within two months and able to schedule the required training visits prior to surgery. Exclusion Criteria: Potential participants will be excluded if they have dizziness or self-reported medical conditions that would be expected to affect walking and balance. These specifically include history of stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and balance disorders including positional vertigo and Meniere's disease. Other exclusion criteria include plans to undergo a contralateral TKA within 12 months or history of other lower extremity joint replacement within 5 years. Finally, people who report idiopathic low back pain, history of heart disease, uncorrected vision impairment, or institutionalization will be excluded. \-
