Description
Yi Wang and colleagues compared foot and walking patterns in people whose knee osteoarthritis affects one knee or both knees. Their cross-sectional study, published in twenty twenty-four, measured foot posture, unevenness between the two sides, walking measures, and pressure under the feet. They also recorded symptom scores and disease severity. One group had disease in a single knee, and the other group had disease in both knees, with equal numbers in each group.
Both groups showed uneven foot posture and uneven walking. Uneven foot posture was stronger in the one-knee group than in the both-knees group. Many walking and pressure measures tracked closely with symptoms and with how advanced the disease was. The authors advise that care should address both knees together, and that foot posture and walking checks can help track this condition.
