Resende et al Clinical Biomechanics; Article in Press Quote: Highlights ?Lateral wedges increase shank rotation in knee osteoarthritis individuals ?Lateral wedges affect trunk kinematics in individuals with knee osteoarthritis ?Lateral wedges on the healthy side increase knee osteoarthritis adduction moments ?Increased foot pronation should not be overlooked in knee osteoarthritis individuals ?Knee osteoarthritis individuals report less comfort walking with lateral wedges Quote: Background Lateral wedges have been suggested for the treatment of individuals with knee osteoarthritis, but it may have undesirable effects on the biomechanics of gait through increased foot pronation. This study investigated the effects of increased unilateral foot pronation on the biomechanics of individuals with knee osteoarthritis during gait
