Although OA is complex and not completely understood, disease onset and progression are at least partly related to responses by bone and cartilage to biomechanical loading. Devices that promote pressure reduction from the medial knee may provide pain relief while simultaneously protecting the joint from further degeneration; one such device is a lateral wedge orthotic shoe insert. When worn during weight-bearing activity, these inserts have been shown to reduce loading of the medial compartment and may provide pain relief. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of orthotic shoe inserts in controlling and relieving knee OA. The study will also assess improvements in loading biomechanics of the knee.
