The dose-response relationship between lateral foot wedging and the reduction of knee adduction moment

article i nfo Article history: Received 8 July 2014 Accepted 29 August 2014 Background: Lateral foot wedges represent a biomechanical intervention aimed at reducing medial knee loads. However, the effects of varying wedge amounts on biomechanical variables and orthotic comfort have not been systematically studied. Further, arch height may influence the comfort of laterally wedged devices. There- fore, the primary purpose of this study was to examine the effect of incrementally increasing lateral wedge amounts on knee adduction moment parameters and subjective comfort. The secondary purpose was to relate
