These preliminary findings suggest that toe-out gait modification is feasible in people with medial compartment knee OA. Preliminary changes in clinical and biomechanical outcomes provide the impetus for conducting larger scale studies of gait modification in people with knee OA to confirm these findings.

The CB&M displayed moderate convergent validity, excellent known-groups validity, and high test-retest reliability. The CB&M can be used as a valid and reliable tool to assess dynamic balance and mobility deficits in people with knee OA.

Rather than prescribing lateral wedges to all patients with knee osteoarthritis, those who have medial knee osteoarthritis and flat feet may prefer to use the combined orthotic to reduce loads across the knee, and to minimize the risk of foot and ankle symptoms as a consequence of orthotic treatment. © 2016 Orthopaedic Research Society.
