Effects of real-time feedback during downhill walking on kinematic and kinetic gait parameters

These cause pain and functional impairment and thus a reduction in quality of life. Walking on level ground has been extensively researched in this regard. However, there are research gaps with regard to the everyday movements of walking uphill and downhill. The effectiveness of real-time feedback has been demonstrated for the prevention and treatment of some musculoskeletal symptoms. In addition to the effectiveness of real-time feedback when walking downhill, the comparability of walking on inclined treadmills (inclined plane) and fixed ramps has not been fully clarified.
Therefore, the following questions are investigated in "Up & Down" in healthy individuals:

1. Can real-time feedback during downhill walking favourably influence knee joint control and knee joint loads?
2. How well do the parameters of the gait pattern and the acting forces match when walking on an inclined treadmill compared to walking on a fixed ramp?
