from "het beste onderwijs ter wereld"-department : "Personalised gait retraining for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis"

in #tyrnannoght9 days ago

Summary


Background

Retraining individuals with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis to walk with a patient-specific change in their foot angle (ie, toe-in or toe-out angle) can reduce excessive joint loading related to disease progression. This study investigated the clinical, biomechanical, and structural efficacy of personalised foot progression angle modifications compared with sham treatment in patients with mild-to-moderate medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.
Methods
In this single-center, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial, we recruited individuals with symptomatic medial compartment knee osteoarthritis at the Human Performance Laboratory and Lucas Center for Imaging at Stanford University, CA, USA, using online and print media. Eligible participants (aged ≥18 years) were randomly assigned (1:1) by a computer to an intervention or sham group. During six walking retraining visits to a university gait laboratory, all participants received real-time biofeedback instructing them to walk consistently with a personalised target foot progression angle.

Interpretation


Personalised foot angle modifications improve pain, reduce knee loading, and might slow osteoarthritis progression, making them a promising non-surgical treatment option for some individuals with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.
