The efficacy of a lateral wedge insole for painful medial knee osteoarthritis after prescreening : a randomized clinical trial (2019)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE:
Lateral wedge shoe insoles decrease medial knee loading, but trials have shown no effect on pain in medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, insoles' loading effects are inconsistent, and they can increase patellofemoral loading. We hyp...
