|a Musculoskeletal pain affects a large percentage of the general population. Traditional therapies focus on treating the symptoms of pain, yet sometimes fail to address the root of the problem. Correcting bad habits to produce a more efficient and functional walking gait could potentially eliminate chronic pain. The purpose of the following case studies was to determine whether visual and verbal cues could serve as effective feedback to improve walking gait. A gait analysis was performed on two volunteer participants with chronic musculoskeletal ailments to determine which verbal cues would be used to create a more “normal” gait. The Lower Extremity Functionality Scale, Short-Form McGill pain questionnaire, Numeric Pain Scale, single leg balance test and timed chair stand were administered prior to and post treatment. Gait training sessions were held twice a week over a four-week period. The results of the study found the Lower Extremity Functionality Scale scores improved from 68 to 78 for Participant 1 and from 58 to 68 for Participant 2. The Numeric Pain Scale decreased from 5 to 1 for Participant 1, and from 4.5 to 0.5 for Participant 2. Participant 2 also showed improvement on the short form McGill Pain Scale with a score of 7 to 2 post training, while Participant 1 reduced his score from a 2 to 1. Changes for the single leg balance test and timed chair stand were insignificant. In conclusion, the participants reported the intervention was beneficial in creating awareness to correct bad walking habits and contributed toward pain reduction. |
