Foot kinematics in people with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis
OBJECTIVES Foot orthoses are commonly used in the management of knee OA, although the relationship between foot function and knee OA is still unclear. The purpose of the study was to examine foot function during walking in people with and without medial compartment knee OA. METHODS Motion of the tibia, rearfoot and forefoot in 32 patients with medial compartment knee OA and 28 age-matched con...
متن کاملFoot posture in people with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis
BACKGROUND Foot posture has long been considered to contribute to the development of lower limb musculoskeletal conditions as it may alter the mechanical alignment and dynamic function of the lower limb. This study compared foot posture in people with and without medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) using a range of clinical foot measures. The reliability of the foot measures was also as...
متن کاملRelationship between foot function and medial knee joint loading in people with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis
BACKGROUND Dynamic joint loading, particularly the external knee adduction moment (KAM), is an important surrogate measure for the medio-lateral distribution of force across the knee joint in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Foot motion may alter the load on the medial tibiofemoral joint and hence affect the KAM. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between tibia, re...
متن کاملA Positive Association Between Foot Posture Index and Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis in Moroccan People
OBJECTIVES To compare foot posture in people with and without medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA), and to assess association between its abnormalities and medial compartment knee OA. METHODS We compared the foot posture of patients with clinically and radiographically-confirmed medial compartment knee OA and asymptomatic healthy controls using the foot posture index (FPI), navicular h...
متن کاملUnloader Braces for Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis
BACKGROUND For persons with unicompartment knee osteoarthritis (OA), off-unloader braces are a mechanical intervention designed to reduce pain, improve physical function, and possibly slow disease progression. Pain relief is thought to be mediated by distracting the involved compartment via external varus or valgus forces applied to the knee. In so doing, tibiofemoral alignment is improved, and...
