Effect of In-shoe Wedges on Knee Osteoarthritis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating wedged inshoe orthosis and neutral inshoe orthosis for Knee Osteoarthritis. Completed, enrolled 38 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The five-year goal of this project is to investigate the effect of in-shoe wedged orthoses on lower extremity function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. In general, our aims address the long-term effects of orthoses. The investigators hypothesize that subjects who use the lateral wedged in shoe orthosis will result in altered gait mechanics that reflect a reduction in the frontal plane knee joint moment compared to subjects who use a neutral in shoe orthosis.
