No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a crossover study that will investigate the immediate effects of a proximal therapeutic approach (SERF strap) and a distal one (foot orthoses) on knee pain intensity, global change, symptoms, ease of performance and confidence after each task and lower limb kinematics (hip adduction and internal hip rotation peak, rearfoor eversion peak) during functional taks (level-ground walking and stepping manoeuvres) in people with patellofemoral ostheoartritis

Conditions

  • Patellofemoral Osteoarthritis

Interventions

DEVICE

Elastic hip strap

The SERF Strap consist of a thin, elastic material that is secured to the proximal aspect of the leg, wraps in a spiral fashion around the thigh, and is anchored around the pelvis. The line of action of the SERF Strap pulls the hip into abdcution and external rotation.

DEVICE

Insole

Foot orthoses with semi-rigid arch support and medial elevation at the forefoot and at the rearfoot by 7° each that is made from a block of ethyl vinyl acetate with a thermo-moldable polymer (shore hardness of 45 A) and is manufactured through an automated computer numeric control machine (CNC routers).
