“…Joint moments at the ankle and knee are affected by orthotic use. Medially aligned wedges and custom foot orthotics often reduce ankle inversion moments (Lewinson et al, 2013a;Maclean et al, 2009;Nigg et al, 2003;, but increase knee external rotation moments and external knee varus moments, shifting the loading of the knee to the medial compartment (Boldt et al, 2013;Lewinson et al, 2013a;Maclean et al, 2009;Nigg et al, 2003). Use of lateral wedges has been shown to increase ankle inversion moments and external knee valgus moments, shifting the loading of the knee to the lateral compartment (Lewinson et al, 2013b).…”
