A Multi-centre Study of Shoe-worn Insoles and Knee Osteoarthritis (NCT06251167)

A Multi-centre Feasibility Study Assessing Shoe-worn Insoles to Improve Clinical and Biomechanical Features of Knee Osteoarthritis

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: University of British Columbia

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Shoe-worn insoles (also known as orthotics) can provide symptomatic relief for people with knee osteoarthritis. However, given they act at the feet, and given that many people with knee osteoarthritis also report foot pain, it is important to assess the effects of these devices at both joints. We will conduct a multi-centre randomized pilot trial to determine feasibility and preliminary efficacy.
