In Vivo Determination of Condylar Separation In Subjects Wearing An Osteoarthritic Knee Brace and/ or Heel Wedge Insole
نویسندگان
چکیده
All fifteen subjects demonstrated no separation (bone-on-bone) of their medial compartment, at heel-strike, without the assistance of an offloading device. While using a lateral HWI, medial compartment separation could only be detected in 5/15 subjects (33%), but 12/15 subjects (80%) felt pain relief of their osteoarthritic knee at heel-strike. While wearing an osteoarthritic offloading knee brace, the same 12/15 subjects (80%) demonstrated articular separation of the degenerative knee compartment at heelstrike (Figure 4). Again, the same 12/15 (80%) subjects experienced pain relief and demonstrated a change in medial compartment separation while using a lateral HWI and wearing the knee brace. METHODS:
