Effects of incremental lateral wedging on frontal plane knee and ankle angulation in medial knee osteoarthritis

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
We report frontal plane knee and ankle angulations from a study of incremental lateral wedging on joint biomechanics during walking. Trends of increasing ankle eversion were apparent in higher speed walking, whereas knee joint angular changes were of smaller magnitude with only a slight trend toward valgus angulation at higher walking speeds. Results were more variable at the highest wedge angle, suggesting differing adaptive responses to high degrees of lateral wedging.
