Trial summary

The purpose of this is to test lateral foot orthoses with different amount of wedging to find a model that predicts the optimal lateral inclination of foot orthosis based on biomechanical or feelings measures. This study was a cross-sectional study with patients serving as their own control. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Does it Exist a Relationship Between Inclination Angle of Foot Orthoses and Varus Angle of the Knee in the Relief of the Knee Osteoarthritis Symptoms?

The purpose of this is to test lateral foot orthoses with different amount of wedging to find a model that predicts the optimal lateral inclination of foot orthosis based on biomechanical or feelings measures. This study was a cross-sectional study with patients serving as their own control. The investigators recruited 24 knee osteoarthritis. Knee radiography and clinical angles measures was carried out before making orthoses, then motion analysis with an optoelectronic system was performed with each pair of foot orthoses. During motion analysis, five gait trials were carried out in each condition.

Being tested
Neutral customized foot orthoses, 6° lateral customized foot orthoses, 10° lateral customized foot orthoses

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Knee pain

    A 20-cm visual analog scale (0-100) is used to assess pain.

    Measured: At time of device receipt

  2. Knee adduction moment

    Measure of the knee adduction moment is a non invasive technic to identify change in medial knee loading, major problem in medial knee osteoarthritis.

    Measured: At time of device receipt

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Foot orthoses comfort

    A 20-cm visual analog scale (0-100) is used to assess comfort.

    Measured: At time of device receipt

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Neutral customized foot orthoses, 6° lateral customized foot orthoses and 10° lateral customized foot orthoses in people with Medial Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Laval University at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Knee pain (time frame: At time of device receipt). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 May 2024.
