Zusammenfassung

Background The knee adduction moment (KAM) is a surrogate measure of mediolateral distribution of loads across the knee joint and is correlated with progression and severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Existing biomechanical approaches for unloading the arthritic medial knee compartment vary in their effectiveness in reducing KAM. This study employed a completely wireless, pressure-detecting shoe insole capable of generating auditory feedback via a smartphone. Research question To investigate whether auditory cues from a smartphone can prompt subjects to adjust their gait pattern and reduce KAM. Methods Nineteen healthy subjects underwent gait training inside the lab (Phase 1) and received auditory cues during mid- and terminal stance to medialize their foot COP (center-of-pressure). This initial training period was continued unsupervised while walking around campus (Phase 2). Results After Phase 1, subjects reduced their KAM by 20.6% (p= 0. 001), a finding similar to a previous study that used a wired, lab-based insole system. After further unsupervised training outside the lab during Phase 2, subjects were able to execute the newly learned gait pattern without auditory feedback still showing a KAM reduction of 17.2% (p < 0.001). Although, speed at Phase 2 was lower than at baseline (p= 0.013), this reduction had little effect on KAM (r=0.297, p= 0.216). In addition, the adduction angular impulse was reduced (p= 0.001), despite the slower speed. Significance Together, these results suggest that the wireless insole is a promising tool for gait retraining to lower the KAM and will be implemented in a home-based clinical trial of gait retraining for subjects with knee OA.

Moticon's Schlussfolgerungen

This was concerned with reducing the knee adduction moment (KAM) with a unsupervised gait retraining protocol. Reduction of the KAM is a common target for interventions is patients with Osteoarthritis. The gait retraining was intended to medialize center of pressure at the foot during walking which was hypothesized to reduce KAM. The gait retraining leveraged Moticon sensor insoles to provide feedback on pressure distribution. A customized Moticon app was used to provide auditory feedback to subjects based on their pressure distribution. Nineteen health subjects participated in the training protocol. In a first phase subjects took part in an initial supervised training which involved additional feedback by study personnel. Subsequently, in the second phase, subjects participated in the unsupervised training. At baseline as well as after both phases additional gait test were performed to attain join angles using a motion capture system. Results revealed reduced KAM after both training phases showing that patients were able to maintain the altered gait pattern in unsupervised training which they previously learned during the supervised phase 1.
