“…Gait analysis of each subject was performed as described in previous studies (Haim et al, 2012;Haim et al, 2011) (Appendix B in supplementary material). A Vicon motion analysis system (Oxford Metrics Ltd., Oxford UK) accompanied by two three-dimensional AMTI force plates was used for data capture.…”

“…It must address wider perspectives of generalized neuromuscular control. In recent years, several publications regarding the effect of a novel non-invasive biomechanical device for different musculoskeletal disorders have been published [12][13][14][15]. A unique foot-worn device enables the relocation of the center of pressure [16] while training neuromuscular control [17].…”

“…Numerous studies have related meniscus injuries with the development of knee OA [6,26,28]. The implemented therapy of this study has been shown to have a positive therapeutic effect on the gait pattern, physical function and pain of patients with knee OA [3,11,17,20]. Therefore, it can be suggested that this treatment modality has the potential to be beneficial in two timeframes: the short-term rehabilitation of patients with meniscal tears and the longterm treatment for knee OA.…”

Purpose The purpose of the current study was to assess the effects of a new foot-worn device on the gait, physical function and pain in patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis (OA) who had a low-impact injury to the medial meniscus causing a degenerative meniscal tear. Methods A retrospective analysis of 34 patients with knee OA and a degenerative medial meniscal tear was performed. Patients underwent a gait evaluation, using an electronic walkway mat, and completed the SF-36 health survey and the WOMAC questionnaire at baseline and after 3 and 12 months of therapy. AposTherapy is a functional, biomechanical, non-invasive rehabilitation therapy consisting of a foot-worn device that is individually calibrated to each patient and is used during activities of daily living. Repeated-measures analyses were performed to compare gait parameters and self-evaluation questionnaires between baseline, and 3 and 12 months. Results Significant improvements were found in gait velocity, step length and single-limb support of the involved knee following 12 weeks of therapy (all p \ 0.01), alongside an improvement in limb symmetry. These results were maintained at the 12-month follow-up examination. Significant improvements were also found in all three domains of the WOMAC index (pain, stiffness and physical function) and in the SF-36 Physical Health Scale and the SF-36 Mental Health Scale (all p \ 0.01). Conclusions Patients with knee OA and a degenerative medial meniscal tear using a biomechanical foot-worn device for a year showed improvement in gait, physical function and pain. Based on the findings of this study, it can be postulated that this biomechanical device might have a positive effect on this population. Level of evidence Therapeutic study, Level IV.
