Clinical Trial Summary
Orthotics and Prosthetics are important areas where physiotherapists order a variety of
assistive aids to restore, compensate, or prevent physical ailments and disorders, such as
here, Knee Osteoarthritis.
This study will be helpful not only in establishing the role of footwear modification as an
adjunct treatment protocol for knee osteoarthritis but also elicit a multidisciplinary team
approach which is a much-needed area, especially in the emergency rehabilitation area.
Description:
2.1 MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM APPROACH As defined by World Health Organization, Curriculum
Contents and International Practice Patterns, physical therapy is an autonomous profession
where clinical make clinical decisions based on clinical reasoning, differentially diagnose,
determine prognosis, and make plan of care including discharge planning and outcome
assessment.
Orthotics and Prosthetics are important areas where physiotherapist order variety of
assistive aids to restore, compensate or prevent physical ailments and disorders, such as
here, Knee Osteoarthritis.
This study will be helpful not only establishing role of foot wear modification as adjunct
treatment protocol for knee osteoarthritis but also elicit a multidisciplinary team approach
which is a much needed area especially in emergency rehabilitation area.
2.2 LITERATURE GAP Although, there is work on performance of modified foot wears, which have
been studied mostly alone or as adjunct with pharmacology. There is less literature on
conservative treatment of osteoarthritis with foot wear modification coupled with
physiotherapy treatment. This study will create a unique impact paying ways for type of
preferable footwear that should be used, based on results, and combining treatment with
physiotherapy care.
2.3 UNSETTLED DEBATE OVER TYPE OF FOOTWEAR The debate is still underway, worldwide, regarding
which shoe type or foot wear should be preferred over other. The study results will come up
with a contribution towards determining right foot wear for osteoarthritis.
2.4 COST EFFECTIVENESS The knee osteoarthritis is a problem that degenerative in nature and
is triggered due to posture and abnormal force distribution. Right shoes are proven to alter
walk posture, step length and degree of ease in walk. This simple remedy can be integral for
reduction in care cost by minimizing disability and pain.
2.5 NOVEL SHOE MAKING APPROACH Although, advising foot wears and its modification is
technical phenomenon, yet, this study can impact formulation of a shoe pattern that can help
the arthritis patients. This can open new shoe making approach on public shoe outlets, from
where old age individuals can directly buy the shoes that be the potential healer and disease
modifier.
