Interventions

Group I: laterale wedge sole (inlay)

Group II: valgisation knee brace (brace).

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients (male and female) with symptomatic medial osteoarthritis of the knee are included. Patients will be included after informed consent given and baseline measurements made.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria are below 35 or above 60 years of age, symptoms not related to medial osteoarthritis of the knee or not able to speak or understand Dutch.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Will inlay treatment for patients with symptomatic medial knee ostearthritis yield better results then brace treatment? Measurements: 1. Painscore (VAS); 2. Hospital for Special Surgery (HHS) Knee Service Rating System; 3. Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
I- Will there be a functional diference between both groups? Measurements: 1. Gait analysis (knee adduction moment, toeing-out, knee extension moment); 2. Knee range of motion; 3. Patient satisfaction; 4. Maxmium walking distance II – Will conservative treatment (inlay or brace) give a favourable outcome for medial knee osteoarthritis? Measurements: 5. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA-scan); 6. Osteoarthritis markers (serum and urine); 7. Hip-knee-ankel (HKA)angle.	—
