Brief Summary:
the aim of study is to investigate the efficacy of soft knee brace versus lateral wedge foot insole on pain and proprioception in knee OA
Detailed Description:
Osteoarthritis is the most common disease of joints in adults around the world. Felson et al. reported that about one-third of all adults have radiological signs of osteoarthritis.
. according to epidemiological study the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis in the The Middle East and North Africa ( MENA) region increased 2.88-fold, from 6.16 million cases to 17.75 million, between 1990 and 2019 in MENA.
Individuals with knee OA may have a variety of impairments and functional limitations that prevent them from participating in regular exercise and physical activity. Physical therapists can offer a variety of supplemental treatment approaches that may help patients overcome these barriers and enhance the overall effectiveness of exercise therapy programs.
Soft braces are elastic, non-adhesive orthoses recommended in the non-surgical management of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Because of ease of use, lack of complications, and low cost, soft braces are commonly used with the aim of reducing pain and activity limitations.
.according to Cudejko ,study in 2019 This study shows that decreased pain and reduced dynamic knee instability are pathways by which wearing a soft knee brace decreases activity limitations in patients with knee OA.
Osteoarthritis wedged insoles for patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis is certainly a very interesting treatment option because of its low cost, low complexity and virtually absence of side effects.
To reduce pain, improve physical function, and, possibly, slow disease progression in KOA, the use of knee braces has often been suggested. These are generally the main purposes of knee braces, but the optimal choice for an orthosis remains unclear, and long-term implications are lacking. A variety of different bracing types, manufacturers, and products are currently available on the market. Short-lever elastic knee braces have been used to improve pain, specifically during squats or walking, and daily use or the use of soft knee braces while resting is suggested to provide moderate pain relief and small-to-moderate effects on performance-based physical function in patients. Several authors, with respect to these findings, highlight the importance of soft braces to improve pain reduction and physical function in both the short and long term in KOA treatment, but additional high-quality studies are warranted to improve confidence in the findings
that lateral wedge insoles may be modestly effective in reducing pain in patients with medial knee OA. However, the treatment effect was small and most treated patients did not achieve conventional levels of min imally important response. Future modifications of the screening strategy or treatment might offer greater levels of efficacy.
