Synopsis Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a health condition affecting more than 10% of adults. The present study aims to compare changes in knee pain, function, and loading following a 4-month progressive walking program with or without toe-out gait modification in people with medial tibiofemoral knee osteoarthritis. This week’s “MED FACT” discusses a clinical trial from Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, “ Clinical and biomechanical changes following a 4-month toe-out gait modification program for people with medial knee osteoarthritis: a randomized controlled trial”. Authors: M.A.
Hunt et. al., Key Takeaways: The toe-out group exhibited significantly greater changes in foot progression angle, almost 95%. Objective: To determining the Effects of Toe-out Gait Modification on Clinical and Biomechanical Measures in People With Knee Osteoarthritis Study Type: Randomized trial Participants: 79 What…
