Efficacy of Lateral Wedged Insole with Subtalar Strapping on the Functional Status of Medial Compartment 3rd Grade Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Knee osteoarthritis is the most common disease encountered in the Physical Therapy Clinic. The main outcomes of Physiotherapy treatment is based on symptomatic pain relief along with prevention of deterioration of the functional capacity and improvement in ADL. Among the various conservative treatments for knee OA, lateral wedged insole is the latest treatment concept based on correction of knee varus deformity with the change in foot position. Addition of exercise helps in the maintenance of the correction as muscle strength is required to align the bony levers. This study compares the effect of lateral wedged insole with subtalar strapping along with exercises as treatment option for knee OA with that of exercises alone.
