Abstract

Introduction: Gait retraining is a novel management strategy which has shown ability to reduce pain and the peak knee adduction moment (KAM) (a surrogate measure of medial knee load) in people with medial knee osteoarthritis. However, no published study has compared gait retraining to placebo gait retraining (a gait change which does not affect KAM). Therefore, it is unknown whether pain improvement with gait retraining is due to KAM reduction. Our primary aim was to determine knee joint loading outcomes during placebo, toe-in, and toe-out gait retraining compared to baseline.
