Analysis of Pain, Function, and Joint Mechanics in Response to Two Treatments for Knee Pathology
The objective of this study is complete a longitudinal cross-over clinical study to
investigate the effect of treatments for knee pathology, including cutaneous stimulation
(skin vibration and soft knee brace), on locomotion tasks (i.e. walking, jogging, stair
ascending and descending), muscle function, and pain/function.
