Study Summary

AposTherapy is a home based exercise program utilizing footwear that causes exercise with normal activity that may significantly improve function in patients with knee osteoarthritis since patients with knee osteoarthritis have altered mechanics of motion contributing or due to the presence of the conditions. Capitalizing on the reported excellent adherence and clinical benefit of ApostTherapy in patients with significant knee OA, the investigators propose to evaluate this as a conservative treatment that may supplant/supplement traditional pain medications and physical therapy in an at-risk urban inner city population.

Primary Outcome

Improvement in Pain and Function as assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain scale. The WOMAC, a self-administered instrument, is 1 of 3 subscales comprising the WOMAC Index. As a standalone measure, the WOMAC pain scale contains 5 items that address the following person-level activities: walking, using stairs, in bed, sitting or lying down, and standing upright. The stem of the scale asks the patient to focus on the extent of pain experience
