    Estimation of the External Knee Adduction Moment during Gait Using an Inertial Measurement Unit in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis

    I'm impressed that an inertial measurement unit was able to detect a difference. I'm assuming that the device is detecting motion, or relative motion between parts. I have seen some patients that you can, with the naked eye, see knee adduction at heel contact. Where the device might miss some people with a high knee external knee adduction moment is when there is a moment and no motion. There will be a knee adduction moment when the center of pressure under the foot is medial to the center of pressure of contact between the tibia and the femur. You will see this with genu varum when the foot is medial to the knee. I wonder if anyone has looked at the amount of bow leggedness in relation to the knee adduction moment.

    Orthotics incorporating lateral wedges is, IMO, a misfeasance (at best). It distorts the posture, up to and including the jaw, in many cases resulting in chronic musculoskeletal pain.

    I wonder how many more years will transpire before Podiatrists stop using these draconian insoles.

    Lateral Wedging of the Foot: A Scoping Review

    Lateral wedging underneath the ankle joint definitely changes joint movements within the ankle joint. I am not suggesting otherwise.

    However, using any type of wedging underneath the foot can change the global postural alignment. Which, in turn, can have an inordinate impact on the musculoskeletal health of the individual, from foot to jaw.

    Are we, as Podiatrists, so myopic, that we are only concerned with the results lateral wedging makes in the knee, and ignore any possible iatrogenic outcomes above the knee?
