Efficacy of gait training with real-time biofeedback in correcting knee hyperextension patterns in young women.

Study Design: Single cohort study.

Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of real-time biofeedback provided during treadmill gait training to correct knee hyperextension in asymptomatic females while walking.

Background: Knee hyperextension is associated with increased stress to the posterior capsule of the knee joint, anterior cruciate ligament, and the anterior compartment of the tibiofemoral joint.
