Abstract:
Background
Osteoarthritis is a physiological response to the longitudinal and repeated forces applied to the joint which is associated with an increase in energy consumption and changes in the rate of displacement of the center of pressure in these patients. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of 8 degree lateral wedge in medial compartment knee osteoarthritis energy consumption and displacement of the center of pressure in frontal plane.Methods
The research design was quasi-experimental with a pretest - posttest. In this study, 26 patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis in the age (range of 40 to 60 years) were selected through available sampling. In order to measure the energy consumption the polar electro and measure displacement of the center of pressure the force plate apparatus were used. Participants were evaluated in two conditions with/without of using lateral wedge during walking.Results
The results showed that the mean of energy consumption and the displacement of the center of pressure decreased after using the lateral wedge. The average range of energy consumption before and after using the lateral wedge was respectively 0/381, 0/318 (pConclusion
Use therapeutic interventions such as 8 degree lateral wedge may reduce energy consumption and displacement of the center of pressure of patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.Keywords:
