The Biomechanical Mechanism for Gait and Plantar Pressure Changes After Posterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture and Reconstruction
China110 participantsStarted 2014-06-14
Plain-language summary
Investigating the biomechanics for the PCL ruptured or reconstructed patients during walking, jogging, cutting, jumping. To establish a knee joint biomechanical evaluation model to quantify and evaluate the plantar pressure information under dynamic load-bearing state after PCL fracture. Provide a precise basis for the biomechanical state of the knee, and establish a clinically practical automatic analysis of plantar pressure information and an expert diagnostic system.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* age of 18-45 years old
* Isolated PCL rupture patients: The inclusion criteria included an isolated PCL rupture of at least 3 months' duration.
* Healthy volunteers: no history of neuro or musculoskeletal system injury that may affect the movements.
Exclusion Criteria:
* additional knee ligament or meniscal damage
* severe damage to the ipsilateral hip, ankle joint, or contralateral lower limb (ligament ruptures or bone fractures)
* age \>50 years (to avoid age-induced osteoarthritis interference)
* any cartilage injury grade \>2 according to the Outerbridge classification
* Tegner score18 \<3
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
