20.500.12556/RUL-154969 Effects of therapeutic approaches in treating varus malalignment of the knee joint Knee malalignment is shown to be an independent risk factor for osteoarthritis progression. The knee adduction moment is directly correlated with varus malformation and can be decreased with changes in gait pattern, external foot rotation and external support. The aim of this literature review was to determine the effects of different therapeutic approaches in treating varus malalignment of the knee joint. The literature search was conducted in the PubMed and EBSCO databases. We used a combination of English keywords. Studies were screened regarding the inclusion and exclusion criteria. We included five studies investigating the effects of therapeutic approaches in participants with or without osteoarthritis onset. Statistically significant decrease in knee adduction moment was reported in one study, which was implementing modified gait pattern with real time feedback. Other outcome measures were also indicative of potential efficacy in different therapeutic approaches. There is a bigger potential for treating varus malalignment before osteoarthritis (OA) onset. The results indicate that weight-bearing exercise and gait modification in combination with a corrective training protocol provide a potential useful approach to reduce varus malalignment. varus malalignment knee joint knee adduction moment therapeutic approaches true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2024-03-12 11:29:05 2024-03-12 11:29:05 2024-09-11 11:25:59 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 47-52 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 615.8 10.55295/PSL.2024.I8 188530435 186758147 8_Oslak_Andreja.pdf 8_Oslak_Andreja.pdf 1 348F5BF8E78E2C362B7BF6CE7904720B 5e2a64479d0f511f0e609cd4a951aca939738da135254df37bbe9782746eafd7 42570eac-6f7c-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=190303 https://www.zf.uni-lj.si/si/predstavitev/zalozba/socratic-lectures-10-part-i 0 22421f54-6f7c-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=190302 Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
