Opioid Induced Gait Variability
While the analgesic effects of opioids are well known, evidence suggest that there are differences in the adverse dizziness of the different opioid types, which may influence the gait function differently. However, this has not been investigated scientifically under controlled conditions. Normal gait function is characterized by cyclic movements with a high degree of predictability. As such, the amount of kinematic variability can provide important information about a condition or an intervention that may affect the gait function . Three-dimensional gait analysis is a recognized method to assess changes in stride-to-stride variability associated with a medical condition or caused by an intervention. Thus, opioid induced changes in gait variability, and possible differences between opioid types, can be assessed objectively from differences in the variability of movements obtained from a three-dimensional gait analysis.
The purpose of this study is to investigate differences in gait variability induced by two different single-dose opioid formulations and an inert placebo in healthy volunteers and knee osteoarthritis patients.

Conditions
Detailed Description
The study is designed as an experimental single center, double-blind treatment, cross-over study with inert placebo, Tapentadol (Palexia Depot), and Tramadolhydrochlorid (Mandolgin Retard), with a minimum of 7days wash-out periods.
At day 1 (Visit 1), baseline measurements are carried out before tablet administration. Immediately after baseline measurements one tablet is administered, and hourly measurements are performed for 6 hours. Subsequently all participants enter a minimum 7 day washout period, after which they return to the facility to repeat the procedures at Visit 2 (day 8+) and Visit 3 (day 15+). The order of treatments will be randomized (1:1:1).
