Analysis of Joint Mechanics in Response to Gait Modifications and Cutaneous Stimulation
The purpose of this study is to quantify differences in joint mechanics between different
types of walking in healthy individuals and individuals with knee pathology. The
investigators will determine how modifying gait through feedback and/or cutaneous stimulation
changes joint loading.

- For healthy volunteers - history of surgical intervention at any joint of the lower
extremity
- Inability to cooperate with study protocol due to medical or psychiatric reasons
- Inability to provide informed consent
- For healthy subjects: Any diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis or knee pain
