Summary

The focus of this project is to determine the immediate efficacy of a combined treatment (lateral wedge insole + simple knee sleeve) in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and the short term effect over 6 weeks. Secondly, to compare the effect of this combined treatment with each treatment on its own (lateral wedge insole, simple knee sleeve)

Conditions

• Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Lateral wedge insole (insole)	The lateral wedge insole is an orthotic device that is placed inside the shoe. It has different thicknesses, with the lateral side being thicker than the medial side. This difference in thickness leads to the lateral side being higher than the medial side, with a different angulation.
DEVICE	simple knee sleeve (sleeve)	The simple knee sleeve is support which is worn around the knee with no hinge or provide external valgus moment.
