Abstract

<p>Locomotion training, which refers to self-training by standing on one leg with eyes open and squat training, has proven to clearly contribute to improvement of locomotor function. Many elderly patients reported that they began to feel much less liable to a fall, so that the training eventually contribute to improvement of the balancing capacity as well. However, the results revealed that short-term cessation of the training led to long-term loss of the effects of training, underscoring the importance of continuous practice of the training. As knee pain and low back pain constitute the main causes for discontinuation of locomotion training, orthopedic surgeons have a crucial role in ensuring continuation of locomotion training.</p>
