Tokyo, June 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000060919) titled 'Relationship between lower limb loading and muscle activity during stair ascent and descent' on May 31.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Single arm Randomization - Non-randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Self control

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Kobegakuin University

Condition: Condition - knee osteoarthritis Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The purpose of this study is to collect preliminary data on lower-limb loading dynamics and muscle activity during stair negotiation associated with knee joint disorders by measuring forefoot and heel loading patterns and lower-limb muscle activity while healthy participants perform side-facing and backward stair descent. Basic objectives2 - Safety,Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Healthy adults with no history of orthopedic disorders will be recruited as participants. The subjects will wear an in-shoe plantar pressure measurement device and will perform the following tasks: (1) level walking, (2) normal stair ascent, (3) normal stair descent, (4) sideways stair ascent, (5) sideways stair descent, and (6) backward stair descent. Electromyographic activity of the lower limb muscles will be recorded using a multi-channel telemetry system .

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 20 years-old = Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Participants were students from the Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Comprehensive Rehabilitation, and were healthy adults with no history of orthopedic disorders. Key exclusion criteria - Individuals with no orthopedic disorders. Target Size - 20

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Preinitiation Date of protocol fixation - 2026 Year 03 Month 13 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2026 Year 04 Month 01 Day Last follow-up date - 2027 Year 03 Month 31 Day
