An interventional study of 3D-printed foot orthoses and 5 degrees lateral wedge insoles in Medial Knee Osteoarthritis, sponsored by National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. Completed at 1 site in Taiwan. Open to participants aged 50 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-01-13.
Sponsored by National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purposes of this study are: (1) to determine the kinematics, kinetics, and muscle co-activation ratio of level walking and stair negotiation under three different conditions (shoes only, shoes embedded 3D printed insoles, and shoes embedded 5-degree lateral wedges), (2) to build a detailed patient-specific knee model via MR images and musculoskeletal model, then, evaluate the compressive forces acting on the medial aspect of the knee during level walking and stair negotiation.
This study is a cross-sectional study with patients serving as their own control. The investigators will recruit 20 patients with knee osteoarthritis. Using motion capture system, force plates, wireless EMG to capture the motion data of patients during walking and stair negotiation in each condition.

Knee adduction moment during level walking and stair negotiation
Surrogate marker of medial knee loading. Using motion capture system data to calculate the knee adduction moment via inverse dynamics method.
Time frame: 10 minutes
Medial knee joint contact force during level walking and stair negotiation
Calculate the medial knee force to identify the change in medial knee loading by musculoskeletal model. The musculoskeletal model is driven by motion capture system data.
Time frame: 10 minutes
Muscle co-activation ratio during level walking and stair negotiation
Level of muscle co-activation measured by electromyography (EMG).
Time frame: 10 minutes
Knee flexion moment during level walking and stair negotiation
Surrogate marker of medial and lateral knee loading. Using motion capture system data to calculate the joint moments via inverse dynamics method. The calculated joint moments (N\*m) will be normalized by multiplying body weight (Newton) and leg length (meter).
Time frame: 10 minutes
Path of center of pressure during level walking and stair negotiation
The factor of affect the joint moments. Measured by force platform.
Time frame: 10 minutes
Lower limbs joint angles during level walking and stair negotiation
Lower limbs alignment, including hip, knee and ankle joints. Using motion capture system data to calculate the joint angles.
Time frame: 10 minutes
