Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In this study, we focus not only on the magnitude of static weight-bearing, but also on dynamic parameters during the transition from one-handed parallel bar walking to T-cane walking. Specifically, we analyze the temporal changes in maximum dynamic weight-bearing, loading rate (LR) - an indicator of shock absorption capacity during loading - and loading impulse, which represents the total force applied during the time the foot is in contact with the ground.

Other related information

This observational study aims to clarify the relationship between dynamic weight-bearing parameters (maximum weight-bearing, loading rate, and impulse) and the acquisition of T-cane walking in postoperative patients with proximal femoral fractures. Measurements will be conducted once a week for 10 strides at a comfortable walking speed. Weight-bearing patterns during one-handed parallel bar walking and T-cane walking will be analyzed. Ten patients admitted to a convalescent rehabilitation ward will be included. Routine rehabilitation will continue as usual, and no additional interventions will be introduced for research purposes. The study aims to identify key weight-bearing characteristics that contribute to improved walking independence.
