Effects of laterally wedged insoles on static balance in patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis
Background Patients with knee OA usually present with major involvement in the medial compartment characterized by joint inflammation, loss of cartilage and joint space and experience increased loads across this compartment. These contribute to pain, changes in muscle control and may interfere with balance and postural control [1,2]. Laterally wedged insoles or footwear components have been use...
متن کاملThe Effect of Lateral Wedged Shoes on Medial Compartment Load of the Knee Joint
INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthritis of the knee joint most often starts at the medial compartment, presumably due to its higher loading [1]. Several conservative methods exist to unload the medial compartment, such as the use of valgus braces, canes and laterally wedged shoes. Several studies have shown that the external adduction moment, which is associated with medial compartment load, is reduced by...
متن کاملEffects of footwear on medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.
This pilot study investigated whether lateral-wedge insoles inserted into shock-absorbing walking shoes altered joint pain, stiffness, and physical function in patients with symptomatic medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). Twenty-eight subjects wore full-length lateral-wedge insoles with an incline of 4 degrees in their walking shoes for 4 weeks. Pain, stiffness, and functional status w...
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...
متن کاملComparison the effect of lateral wedge insole and acupuncture in medial compartment knee osteoarthritis: a randomized controlled trial.
BACKGROUND There is lack of well-designed trials evaluating structural benefits of non-pharmacologic therapies in knee osteoarthritis (OA). In this parallel-group randomized controlled trial, we aim to compare the possible advantages of lateral wedge insole and acupuncture in patients with medial knee OA. METHOD Patients with grade two or three of medial knee OA were randomly allocated to gro...
