Brief Summary
This randomized clinical trial will compare the changes in performance, biomechanical and clinical outcomes before and after a six-week gait modification intervention. Participants with knee osteoarth...
Detailed Description
Greater toe-in or toe-out angles during walking are potential biomechanical management strategies for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). Multi-week clinical trials demonstrate the biomechani...
