Orthotic shoes vs. gait modification, which approach provides superior effect for reducing knee adduction moment in patients with knee osteoarthritis?
Knee osteoarthritis severely affects people’s movement abilities and causes considerable knee pain, resulting in an impaired quality of life. With the knee OA progressing to the late stage, patients commonly need to receive a total knee arthroplasty, which greatly increase the socioeconomic burden. Orthotic shoes and gait modification are two popular approaches that have been proposed to be able for reducing knee adduction moment and relieving knee pain. However, their effects are often confounded without a clear analysis on the subjects, biomechanical responses, and quality of the research. We thus aim to perform a systematic review on these two approaches, with a specific aim to analyse their biomechanical effects reported in previous literature, as well as a guidance for further research.
The following eligibilities apply:
1) Self-motivated, having great interests in biomechanics
2) Excellent English abilities, both in speaking and writing
3) Initial knowledge on statistical analysis; previous experience with meta-analysis will be a strong plus
4) Experience with citation tools will be a plus but not essential
5) Good time management ability
