Textured Insoles for Balance in Knee Arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether special textured insoles can improve balance, walking, and foot pressure in older adults with knee arthritis. If you join, you may use the insoles during daily activities to see if they help you feel steadier and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether shoe insoles can help people with knee osteoarthritis. You might be eligible if you have had knee pain for at least 6 months, your pain is at least moderate, and you also have pain in the same foot.
This pilot study tests whether a group exercise program can improve balance for people with knee osteoarthritis. You would join supervised exercise classes to see if they help with stability and daily movement.
This study uses special insoles to measure how you walk before and after a knee replacement. The goal is to see if these measurements can help predict how well you will recover after surgery.
This study tests whether a special hands-on technique (Mulligan mobilization) combined with balance exercises can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better and move easier. It's for people with mild to moderate knee OA who can walk without help.
This study tests whether special shoe inserts (wedged on one side) can improve how your knee moves and how your leg muscles work when you walk and run. Researchers will measure your movement, muscle activity, and forces on your knee to see if these inserts help.
This trial tests whether textured shoe insoles can improve foot function and reduce pain in people with long-standing plantar fasciopathy (a common cause of heel pain). You may join if your condition has lasted at least 3 months and you can walk for 20 minutes, but you must be otherwise healthy without recent leg injuries or other balance issues.
