Gait initiation and lateral wedge insole for individuals with early knee osteoarthritis.

摘要: Abstract Background People with knee osteoarthritis are at higher risk of postural deficits and locomotor adaptations which could be manifested in transient tasks like gait initiation. To better understand the effect early on initiation, we measured initiation two groups healthy age-matched controls assessed lateral wedge insole group. Methods Twenty-one individuals osteoarthritis, mean (SD) age = 53.1 (7.4, years), 19 age- sex-matched asymptomatic individuals, age = 47.5 (11.2, participated. Centre pressure trajectories were used to quantify phases barefoot condition: anticipatory adjustment, phase. The immediate four-week shod condition also compared for Findings Longer duration adjustment phase (P = 0.046), (P = 0.049), total (P = 0.035) lower length velocity center (P = 0.002, 0.008, respectively) observed group controls. Lateral increase centre (P = 0.001, 0.002, respectively). Interpretation Our study outlined that people adopt different strategies mainly preparation potential was shown performance Clinical trial registry number IRCT2016060628310N1.
