Hindfoot Flexibility Influences the Biomechanical Effects of Laterally Wedged Insoles and Ankle-Foot Orthoses in Medial Knee Osteoarthritis.

Objective: To investigate the relationship of frontal plane ankle mobility with the effects of an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) and a laterally wedged insole (LWI) on knee adduction moment (KAM) in the treatment of medial knee osteoarthritis.

Design: Randomized, nonblinded crossover trial.

Setting: Outpatient clinic of university hospital.

Recommended motor assessments based on psychometric properties in individuals with dementia: a systematic review.

Background: Motor assessments are important to determine effectiveness of physical activity in individuals with dementia (IWD). However, inappropriate and non-standardised assessments without sound psychometric properties have been used. This systematic review aims to examine psychometric properties of motor assessments in IWD combined with frequency of use and effect sizes and to provide recommendations based on observed findings.
