Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Knee OA Symptoms. Timepoint: Before and after the immediate use of the lateral wedge sock insoles. Method of measurement: WOMAC Questionnaire.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Knee External Adduction Moment (EKAM). Timepoint: Before and after the immediate use of the lateral wedge sock insoles. Method of measurement: Through kinematic data obtained from motion analysis system and kinetic data obtained from the force plate.;Coordination and variability of the coordinated pattern of hindfoot and the leg. Timepoint: Before and after the immediate use of the lateral wedge sock insoles. Method of measurement: Through kinematic data obtained from motion analysis System.;Center of Pressure (CoP) Path. Timepoint: Before and after the immediate use of the lateral wedge sock insoles. Method of measurement: Using the data obtained from the foot scanner (Foot pressure).	—
