Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The possibility to determine the function of orthopaedic patients with a triaxial accelerometer. The acceleration signals are analysed using algorithms programmed in matlab. Important parameters are gait parameters (frequency, speed, steptime, asymmetry, regularity, up down displacement) and balance parameters (postural sway, trunk angles, angel velocities, root mean squares).
Secondary outcome
N/A
Background summary
A new objective functional assessment tool is needed to analyse the patients of today which have higher functional requirements compared with 20 years ago. This study will use a triaxial accelerometer to observe the mobility in orhtopedic patiens during the plyclinic visits.

Intervention
Measure function during policlinical visits using a triaxial accelerometer:
walk 20m, balance on 1 leg, rise from and sit down onto a chair, step onto and down from a block. These tests takes about 10 minutes. The obtained data is compared with data of a healthy control group. Furthermore it will be validated with the usual observations of the doctor.
