## Abstract ## Objective Individuals with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) and genu varum use different movement and muscle activation patterns to increase joint stability during gait. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether opening‐wedge high‐tibial osteotomy (OW‐HTO) correc

## Abstract We examined if a subject‐specific amount of lateral wedge added to a foot orthosis could alter knee mechanics to potentially reduce the progression of knee osteoarthritis in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis. Twenty individuals with medial knee osteoarthritis (≥2 Kellgren Lawrenc
The motions and moments in the hip and knee in female patients on the waiting list for knee prosthesis surgery with medial (n ¼ 15) or lateral (n ¼ 15) osteoarthritis (OA) were compared with a control group (n ¼ 15). We hypothesized that not only the kinematics and kinetics of the knee but also of t
## Objective: To determine whether reducing walking speed is a strategy used by patients with knee osteoarthritis (oa) of varying disease severity to reduce the maximum knee adduction moment. ## Methods: Self-selected walking speeds and maximum knee adduction moments of 44 patients with medial ti
## Abstract The knee adduction moment (KAM) provides a major contribution to the elevated load in the medial compartment of the knee. An abnormally high KAM has been linked with the progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Footwear‐generated biomechanical manipulations reduce the magnitude of this
