## Abstract This study investigated the load‐modifying and clinical efficacy of variable‐stiffness shoes after 12 months in subjects with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Subjects who completed a prior 6‐month study were asked to wear their assigned constant‐stiffness control or variable‐sti

## Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate shoe sole material stiffness changes and angle changes that are intended to reduce the peak knee adduction moment during walking. Fourteen physically active adults were tested wearing their personal shoes (control) and five intervention pairs, t
## Abstract External knee adduction moment can be reduced using footwear interventions, but the exact changes in in vivo medial joint loading remain unknown. An instrumented knee replacement was used to assess changes in in vivo medial joint loading in a single patient walking with a variable‐stiff
## Abstract This study tested the effects of variable‐stiffness shoes on knee adduction moment, pain, and function in subjects with symptoms of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis over 6 months. Patients were randomly and blindly assigned to a variable‐stiffness intervention or constant‐stiffnes
