There is no cure for OA, with treatments such as NSAIDs and acetaminophen aimed towards symptom reduction and improved functioning. Most evidence-based guidelines include the use of supportive shoes, however little evidence exists on effectiveness of these types of shoes. It is also unclear what the characteristics of a supportive shoe are and what type of shoe is best for OA. Join us as we discuss a recent randomized controlled trial that compared 2 types of shoes, and their benefits in symptom reduction and functional improvement of knee OA Episode resource links: AAOS EBG: Lateral Wedge Insole. https://www.orthoguidelines.org/guideline-detail?id=1209&tab=all_guidelines AAOS EBG Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee; https://www.aaos.org/globalassets/quality-and-practice-resources/osteoarthritis-of-the-knee/osteoarthritis-of-the-knee-2nd-editiion-clinical-practice-guideline.pdf Guest: Susan Feeney, DNP, FNP-BC, NP-C Music Credit: Richard Onorato
