Testing Weight-bearing Exercises While Lying Down
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to simulate weight-bearing exercises (like standing or walking) while lying flat on your back. Researchers want to see if this approach works for healthy people and those who've had knee replacement surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are either healthy with no major health conditions, or you've had total knee replacement (TKA) surgery
- You do not have neurological conditions (diseases affecting the brain, spinal cord, or nerves)
- You have not experienced acute trauma (sudden serious injury) recently
- You are able to participate in an exercise simulation study

This study compares two ways of aligning the knee during a total knee replacement and checks how people walk afterward using a walking test. It may help doctors choose the alignment method that best supports safer, smoother walking.
This study tests different surgical alignment techniques during total knee replacement (a surgery to replace a damaged knee joint) for patients with knee arthritis. Researchers want to see if certain alignment methods improve how well your knee works after surgery.
This study tests whether special balance exercises on a platform can help people who have recently had a knee replacement walk better and feel steadier.
This trial uses a special CT scan taken while you stand to see how the shape of your knee joint relates to your knee pain. It may help researchers better understand knee arthritis and front-of-knee pain.
This study uses a special weight-bearing CT scan to look at how well the bone around a repaired knee fracture heals after a second surgery. If you’ve had surgery for a broken bone above your knee replacement, this scan might help doctors learn more about your recovery.
This study tests whether walking on a special antigravity treadmill (which reduces weight on your joints) helps people recover faster after hip or knee replacement surgery. It's designed for people who are 60 or older and can walk on their own.
