Lateral Wedge Insoles With Arch Support in Knee Osteoarthritis

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Medial Knee Osteoarthritis

• Registration Number: NCT01909596
• Lead Sponsor: Laval University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this is to test lateral foot orthoses with different amount of wedging to find a model that predicts the optimal lateral inclination of foot orthosis based on biomechanical or feelings measures. This study was a cross-sectional study with patients serving as their own control. The investigators recruited 24 knee osteoarthritis. Knee radiography and clinical angles measures was carried out before making orthoses, then motion analysis with an optoelectronic system was performed with each pair of foot orthoses. During motion analysis, five gait trials were carried out in each condition.

Name	Time	Method
Knee adduction moment	At time of device receipt	Measure of the knee adduction moment is a non invasive technic to identify change in medial knee loading, major problem in medial knee osteoarthritis.
Knee pain	At time of device receipt	A 20-cm visual analog scale (0-100) is used to assess pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Foot orthoses comfort	At time of device receipt	A 20-cm visual analog scale (0-100) is used to assess comfort.
