Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of three types of orthoses (knee orthosis, ankle foot orthosis (AFO), and foot orthosis) on knee alignment, pain, function, and quality of life in individuals with medial knee osteoarthritis (MKOA).
Method: Thirty patients took part in this study and were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 10 in each group) based on the type of intervention. Knee function was assessed using the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) questionnaire, and knee alignment was evaluated by measuring angles using the images of bony prominence (AMI) method.
Results: After using knee orthosis and AFO, all subscales of KOOS showed significant improvement (p < .05). However, there was no significant difference in the results after using foot orthosis (p > .05).
Conclusion: The findings indicate that knee orthosis or AFO for 6 weeks can improve clinical outcomes for individuals with MKOA. This suggests that clinicians can consider using knee orthosis and AFO among the available treatment options to improve clinical outcomes.
简介本研究的目的是比较三种矫形器（膝矫形器、踝足矫形器（AFO）和足矫形器）对内侧膝骨关节炎（MKOA）患者膝关节排列、疼痛、功能和生活质量的影响：方法：30 名患者参加了这项研究，并根据干预类型被随机分配到三组（每组 10 人）。使用膝关节损伤和骨关节炎结果评分（KOOS）问卷评估膝关节功能，使用骨突起图像法（AMI）测量角度评估膝关节排列：使用膝关节矫形器和 AFO 后，KOOS 的所有分量表均有显著改善（P < .05）。然而，使用足部矫形器后，结果无明显差异（P > .05）：结论：研究结果表明，持续 6 周的膝关节矫形或 AFO 可改善 MKOA 患者的临床疗效。结论：研究结果表明，膝部矫形器或 AFO 6 周可改善 MKOA 患者的临床疗效，这表明临床医生可考虑在现有治疗方案中使用膝部矫形器和 AFO，以改善临床疗效。
