What this trial measures

  • Average peak load (Newtons (N))6 weeks for early mobilization group

    Gait analysis is performed while using force-measuring insoles. Patients are asked to complete an parcours with the force-measuring insoles (stand up from a chair with armrests, walk 10 meters, turn, walk back and sit down again. Afterwards (if possible), 5 steps with a handrail should be climbed up and down.

  • Average peak load (Newtons (N))10 weeks for standard of care (SOC) group

    Gait analysis is performed while using force-measuring insoles. Patients are asked to complete an parcours with the force-measuring insoles (stand up from a chair with armrests, walk 10 meters, turn, walk back and sit down again. Afterwards (if possible), 5 steps with a handrail should be climbed up and down.

  • Average peak load (Newtons (N))1 week after full weight bearing is allowed for both 6 week early mobilization and SOC groups.
