Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluating The immediate Effect of Using Two density Insoles with Lateral Wedge Embedded inside a Novel Neoprene Sock on Pain, Quality of Life, and Biomechanical Parameters of the Knee Joint During walking in the Elderly with Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis
Design
Repeated measures one-grouped before-after trial, sample size =30
Settings and conduct
Sampling will be done by the sample of convenience method in Hamadan city. The biomechanics laboratory of the Boali University of Hamadan and the ergonomics laboratory of the Hamedan University of Medical Sciences will be equipped for collecting the kinematics and kinetics, respectively. Quality of life will be evaluated with a 36 SF questionnaire and pain intensity will be evaluated using a visual scale. The Intervention will be a medical insole with a 6-degree of heel and sole wedge on the lateral side for the affected side, ethyl vinyl acetate with a shore of 70 in the lateral half and shore of 20 in the medial half, supporting both the longitudinal and the transverse arches and embedded in a neoprene sock with a subtalar strap. The data will be collected at three conditions: bare feet, wearing shoes without medical insoles, and the use of insoles embedded in neoprene socks at 8-12 AM. Each test will repeat six times, so each person experiences a total of 36 tests. People will walk between 3 to 6 times with two minutes of rest between efforts.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Unilateral osteoarthritis of the Medial compartment of the knee, confirmed by a physician expert in orthopedics or physical medicine. The intervention has no adverse effect on the participants
Intervention groups
Two density Insoles with Lateral Wedge Embedded inside a Novel Neoprene Sock
Main outcome variables
pain, quality of life, ground reaction force, step length, step time, velocity, cadence, double limb support duration, step width,

Description
A pair of laced neoprene socks equipped with medical insoles will be provided to people with one-sided osteoarthritis of the internal compartment of the knee joint. The neoprene sock encompasses a medical insole and a strap is sewn to its upper to stabilize the subtalar joint, which prevents heel eversion and provides ankle stability. The insole will be made of ethyl vinyl acetate foam with two different densities, the lateral part with a hardness of A:70 and the medial with a hardness of A:20. The lateral half of the insole will also have a 6 mm heel and sole wedge. The design and fabrication of medical insoles will be done with the aid of a computer in the specialized foot clinic, Shahid Mobasher Rehabilitation Clinic, Hamadan. Data will be collected after 10 minutes of walking with the sock including the medical insole and the patient's accommodation achievement.
