- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method After 6 week knee support the reduction of knee joint load will be compared to a no-treatment control group.<br>Knee joint load is determined by kinematic and kinetic parameters (adduction, adduction moment, joint stiffness, plantar pressure)<br>Knee joint controll is determined of muscles surrounding the joint (electromyography).<br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method After 6 week knee support changes in subjective pain will be compared to a no-treatment control group.<br>Changes in subjective pain, measured with a Visual Analogue Scale, will be investigated in relation to changes in knee joint load.<br>
