Knee osteoarthritis patients have improved knee loads when using specialized mobility shoe

When patients with knee osteoarthritis are walking, their knees may jut out to the side. Shoes that imitate barefoot walking can help with that.

A recently published study found that wearing a "mobility" shoe keeps the knee joint more aligned in knee osteoarthritis patients.

Using flat, flexible footwear can significantly reduce knee loading in patients with the joint condition, according to researchers.
