Objective To evaluate if gait biomechanics are associated with increased risk of structurally
diagnosed disease onset or progression of lower limb osteoarthritis (OA). Method A …

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent forms of this disease, with the medial
compartment most commonly affected. The direction of external forces and limb orientation …

The adduction moment about the knee during walking gait has been proposed as an indirect
measure of dynamic knee joint load. However, the relative contributions of the variables …

BACKGROUND: Lateral wedges reduce the peak knee adduction moment and are
advocated for knee osteoarthritis. However some patients demonstrate adverse …

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that selected gait kinematics, particularly lateral trunk
lean, observed in patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis explain variation in …

We examined if a subject‐specific amount of lateral wedge added to a foot orthosis could
alter knee mechanics to potentially reduce the progression of knee osteoarthritis in patients …

Kakihana W, Akai M, Nakazawa K, Takashima T, Naito K, Torii S. Effects of laterally wedged
insoles on knee and subtalar joint moments. OBJECTIVE: To assess the biomechanic effects …

Background: Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability. Nonsurgical treatment is a key
first step. Purpose: Systematic literature review of physical therapy (PT) interventions for …

Objective To assess immediate effects of laterally wedged insoles on walking pain, external
knee adduction moment, and static alignment, and whether these immediate effects together …

Foot orthoses are often used to correct altered gait patterns. The purpose of this study was to
investigate how foot orthoses can modify the magnitude of three dimensional moments of …
