Testing video software to measure knee and hip angles while standing
This study tests a video analysis software (Kinovea) to see how accurately it measures knee and hip angles when people stand up from a chair. Healthy volunteers aged 18–45 with a normal BMI are needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 25.
- You can sit down and stand up on your own.
- You have not had any surgery on your legs or spine.
- You do not have any nerve, muscle, or bone problems that affect balance.

This trial studies the knees of healthy Caucasian adults aged 20 to 35. It helps researchers understand normal knee structure and function.
This study tests whether a computer program called Kinovea can accurately measure how your knee moves while walking. If you have a below-knee amputation, use a prosthetic, and meet a few health criteria, you may be able to help improve how amputees are fitted and trained.
This trial tests whether a virtual reality program can measure how well young adults can stand up from a chair repeatedly. It may help researchers find a fun and safe way to check leg strength and mobility without using special equipment.
This study tests a new way to measure balance in people who have a below-knee amputation on one leg. It uses special sensors to see how well the legs work together during movement, which could help improve prosthetic fit and rehabilitation.
This study checks how your trunk (upper body) sways while standing and walking using a motion sensor. It’s meant to better understand balance control and compare how people move when standing still and in motion.
This study looks at how a specific computer/measurement approach (“Verasense”) helps position the knee during total knee replacement for people with knee arthritis. It may help improve how the new knee fits and aligns as you recover.
