The use of a lateral wedge insole to reduce knee loading when ascending and descending stairs in medial knee osteoarthritis patients.
BACKGROUND Stair climbing is a challenging task to the elderly being the task with the first complaint in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. Stair climbing results in around six times more compressive load transmitted through the knee joint than walking on level ground. The purpose of this study was to assess whether lateral wedge insoles would reduce medial compartment knee lo...
متن کاملThe effects of using a lateral wedge insole on knee loading during ascending and descending stairs
Background Stair climbing demands, as compared to walking level, a greater range of motion in the lower extremity accompanied by about six times more load on knee joint [1]. Consequently, pain while climbing stairs is the first complaint in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) [2]. The use of lateral wedge insoles aims to decrease medial knee compartment loading by reducing the peak external ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Unloader Knee Orthosis and Lateral Wedge Insole in Patients with Mild and Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)
Objectives: Patients suffering from mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis may be treated with unloader knee orthoses or laterally wedged insoles. The aim of this study was to identify and compare the effects of two orthoses in these patients. Methods: 56 patients with medial compartment knee OA were evaluated when wearing an unloader knee orthosis and insoles with a 6° lateral wedge which wer...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Optimal management of knee osteoarthritis requires a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. The use of lateral wedge insoles to treat medial knee osteoarthritis is recommended, but there is still controversy about its efficacy. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether the use of lateral wedge insoles can diminish pain and improve function...
