Lateral wedges alter mediolateral load distributions at the knee joint in obese individuals.
Obesity is the primary risk factor for knee osteoarthritis (OA). Greater external knee adduction moments, surrogate measures for medial compartment loading, are present in Obese individuals and may predispose them to knee OA. Laterally wedged insoles decrease the magnitude of the external adduction moment in Obese individuals but it is unknown how they alter the center of pressure on the tibial...
متن کاملSix degree-of-freedom knee joint kinematics in obese individuals with knee pain during gait
Knee joint pain is a common symptom in obese individuals and walking is often prescribed as part of management programs. Past studies in obese individuals have focused on standing alignment and kinematics in the sagittal and coronal planes. Investigation of 6 degree-of-freedom (6DOF) knee joint kinematics during standing and gait is important to thoroughly understand knee function in obese indi...
متن کاملEffect of the Lateral Wedged Insoles on the Joint Load of Knee and Ankle in Patients with Medial Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis (OA), which occurs symptomatically in approximately 11% of 65 years of age and older, account for more mobility disability in the elderly than other disease. Although surgical treatment such as high tibial osteotomy and total knee replacement have been providing successful results for knee osteoarthritis, there is a need to improve conservative treatment as cost-effective an...
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 کاملJoint load considerations in total knee replacement.
Estimates of knee joint loadings were calculated for 12 normal subjects from kinematic and kinetic measures obtained during both level and downhill walking. The maximum tibiofemoral compressive force reached an average load of 3.9 times body-weight (BW) for level walking and 8 times BW for downhill walking, in each instance during the early stance phase. Muscle forces contributed 80% of the max...
