Relationship 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 کاملWomen's shoes and knee osteoarthritis.
We assessed whether wearing wide-heeled shoes has a similar effect on knee torque to narrow-heeled shoes by measuring the joint torques of 20 healthy women during walking. Wearing wide-heeled shoes had a 30% greater effect on peak external knee flexor torque than walking barefoot. Walking with wide-heeled and narrow-heeled shoes increased peak knee varus torque by 26% and 22%, respectively. Our...

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 کاملKnee osteoarthritis and high-heeled shoes.
BACKGROUND Little is known about the effects of walking in high heels on joints in the legs. Since osteoarthritis of the knee is twice as common in women as in men, we investigated torques (forces applied about the leg joints) of women who wore high-heeled shoes. METHODS We studied 20 healthy women who were comfortable wearing high-heeled shoes. The women walked with their own high-heeled sho...
