Study Summary
The proposed study evaluates the effect of medial and lateral wedges and carbon fiber custom dynamic orthoses (CDOs) on lower limb forces and motion during walking. Previous work has used foam wedges of different stiffness and height placed under the heel to alter CDO alignment and alter lower limb mechanics. Medial or lateral wedges have been used by individuals with unilateral knee osteoarthritis in effort to reduce knee loading. In this study, medial and lateral wedges will be placed in participants shoes, with the tall side of the wedge placed on the medial or lateral aspect of the shoes, and participants will walk at controlled and self-selected speeds and complete physical performance measures. Participants will also walk without a CDO. The proposed study will provide evidence that can be used by physicians when treating knee osteoarthritis.
Primary Outcome
Participants completed a biomechanical gait analysis session in all testing conditions (NoCDO, CDO Only, Medial, Lateral). Retro-reflective markers were placed on the participants skin and 12 infrared motion capture cameras (120Hz, Vicon Ltd., Oxford, UK) were used to evaluate the motion of the lower limb as participants walked at a controlled walking speed based on leg length. A minimum of three gait cycles were used to calculate mean(SD) values. Sagittal plane knee range of motion (degrees) wa
