Foot progression angle in knee osteoarthritis – a modifiable lever for medial knee load or an oversimplified therapeutic target
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is no longer viewed solely as a degenerative disorder, but as a mechanically driven disease in which aberrant joint loading dictates both symptom progression and structural decline. Within this framework, the foot progression angle (FPA) has emerged as a clinically accessible and modifiable biomechanical parameter that may influence medial knee joint loading.
