A little change as you walk may help treat knee osteoarthritisA little adjustment in the angle of the foot during walking may reduce knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, Gait analysis and pain measures revealedThursday August 14, 2025 0:15 AM , ummid.com News NetworkNew York: A little adjustment in the angle of the foot during walking may reduce knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, Gait analysis and pain measures revealed. Study FindingsThe study explored whether changing the way patients position their feet when walking could lessen extra loading — stress on the joint during motion — and help treat the disease. The scientists tested this intervention in 68 men and women with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis and then used advanced MRI scans to track how well it worked. By contrast, those who did not change their gait reduced their pain scores by little more than a point. Past research has offered little evidence that changes in gait can effectively reduce knee pain caused by osteoarthritis.
