Inclusion Criteria

  • To define medial knee OA, a patient must meet all of the following:

  • 2\. On anteroposterior (AP) or posteroanterior (PA) view x\-ray (weight bearing, if possible), they need to have definite medial narrowing and NOT lateral narrowing and evidence (osteophyte\+ or definite sclerosis) of OA \- radiographic diagnosis. Confirmation of radiological diagnosis will be performed by Dr Charles Hutchinson to ensure consistency in x\-ray classification less than grade 4 of the Kellgren Lawrence (KL) scale.

  • 4\. They are able to walk for 100 metres nonstop \- participant response
  • 5\. Aged 45 years or older, either sex

Exclusion Criteria

  • 2\. Have tricompartmental knee osteoarthritis or grade 4 medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis on the Kellgren Lawrence scale
  • 3\. A history of high tibial osteotomy or other realignment surgery
