Immediate effects of lateral wedge insoles on inter-joint coordination in women with knee osteoarthritis: A comparative study of footwear

Lateral wedge insoles in sandals increased coordination variability and pain, while slipper socks reduced variability, improving comfort and pain outcomes. Footwear design plays a crucial role in optimizing gait stability and symptom management in knee osteoarthritis.
