Study type | Observational |
This study will collect information on how people sense leg position and movement. The
findings may help scientists develop better ways to evaluate and treat joint problems.
Healthy adult volunteers between 21 and 40 years of age may be eligible for the study.
Candidates are screened with a brief questionnaire and examination to determine their
strength, flexibility, and sensation.
Participants sit on a specially designed chair, with their foot and leg placed in a
custom-made apparatus that controls knee and ankle movements. The skin is marked to indicate
the area of interest for ultrasound assessment of muscle. Subjects respond to joint position
changes for several trials. The procedure takes a maximum of 2.5 hours to complete.

- INCLUSION CRITERIA This study will include healthy males and females between 21 and 40 years of age. This age range is scientifically justified as both the CNS and musculoskeletal system are not fully matured until adulthood while lower extremity proprioception is reported to decrease with older subjects. For this project the term healthy is defined as a lack of systemic disease that alters ability of subjects to participate in activities of their choice. In addition, healthy means no current pathology where there is any possibility of damage to muscle, ligament or cartilage in the lower extremity. EXCLUSION CRITERIA Subjects with a history of lower extremity musculoskeletal injury, which can alter peripheral feedback from cutaneous joint or muscle mechanoreceptors, will be excluded from this study. This includes a recent history of chronic or severe lower extremity injuries such as recent surgery, trauma, degenerative joint changes, which could influence performance in this study. Examples of exclusions include ankle sprains and patella dislocations and subjects will be excluded if they have experienced these injuries within the last six months. Multiple (greater than 3) injuries, such as those described, would warrant exclusion as this could be an indicator of impaired sensation or long term deficit. The presence of local pain or the presence of an impaired sensation, indicating possible CNS dysfunction will also exclude subjects from this study. Subjects with pain will be identified the screening form while subjects with impaired sensation, indicating CNS dysfunction, will be identified by Part 2, or the physical examination of the screening form. This screening form will also evaluate general muscle strength, range of motion, sensation and the joint integrity. This pilot study will use a total of thirty subjects. Subjects will also be screened for excessive hamstring tightness, as the position described above could produce some discomfort with prolonged subject positioning. This investigation is intended to develop methodology and obtain pilot data regarding the existence of coupled proprioception in mature healthy adults. Therefore, subjects below the age of 21 are excluded, as a developing musculoskeletal and central nervous system could impact the outcome of this study. |
