Study summary

Determine motion and morphology of the healthy ankle during simulated gait.

Read the detailed description

Healthy volunteers will undergo weight-bearing, cone beam CT scans of their foot/ankle during 3 phases of simulated gait. Motion and morphology of the foot and ankle will be quantified and analyzed.

Study population

Volunteers who have a healthy ankle

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. The subject self-reports having a right healthy ankle.
  2. The subject agrees to comply with the requirements of the study and complete the study measures.
  3. The subject is between the ages of 18 and 65.
  4. The subject is willing to provided written .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. The subject is pregnant.
  2. The subject reports having been diagnosed with any form of diabetes.
  3. The subject reports having surgery on the right foot, right ankle and/or right knee.
  4. The subject reports a history of repeated ankle sprains or injuries to the right ankle.
  5. The subject reports a history of instability of the right ankle.
  6. The subject reports chronic or recurring pain of the right ankle.
  7. The subject is: a prisoner, unable to understand what participation in the study entails, mentally incompetent, and/or known abuser of alcohol and/or drugs.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

  • Healthy

    Subjects identified to have a healthy foot/ankle

    Radiation: Cone Beam Computed Tomography · Radiation: Radiographs

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Relative rotations of bones

    Determine relative tri-axial rotations between bones of the foot and ankle using reconstructed 3-dimensional computer models. All rotations will be measured in degrees (°).

    Time frame: 1 day

Secondary outcomes

  1. Relative translations of bones

    Determine relative multi-directional translation between bones of the foot and ankle using reconstructed 3-dimensional computer models. All translations will be measured in mm.

    Time frame: 1 day

  2. Morphology - size and shape of the bones of the foot and ankle

    Evaluate the size and shape of the bones of the foot and ankle using reconstructed 3-dimensional computer models relative to height, weight, body mass index and gender. All distances will be measured in mm.

    Time frame: 1 day

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 18, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
