Effects 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 کاملLoad-modifying Footwear Intervention Does Lower Knee Adduction Moment in Subjects with Symptoms of Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis
INTRODUCTION A high maximum adduction moment at the knee during walking has been associated with the treatment outcome (Andriacchi 1994) and rate of progression (Miyazaki et al. 2002) of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). Consequently, many interventions for knee OA are aimed at reducing the maximum knee adduction moment. While footwear modifications, using wedged insoles or shoes (Cr...
متن کاملEffects 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 کاملMedial Compartment Decompression by Fibular Osteotomy to Treat Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis: A Pilot Study.
Compared with high tibial osteotomy and total knee arthroplasty, the authors found a simpler surgical procedure, partial fibular osteotomy, could effectively relieve knee pain and also correct the varus deformity for patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). From January 1996 to April 2012, a total of 156 patients with medial compartment OA were treated by proximal fibular oste...
