Osteoarthritis, Knee
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate the ability of a full length foam insole to provide relief from pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee or general knee pain when used in foot wear for a 4-week period of time. The secondary objectives comprise the evaluation of the insole's ability to provide appropriate shoe fit and comfort as well as relief from osteoarthritis/ general knee pain after short-term use. The safety and tolerability of the test articles in terms of adverse events (AE) will also be investigated.
