الوصف: To evaluate the effectiveness of a knee adduction moment (KAM) gait retraining in patients with early knee osteoarthritis up to 6 months post-training.We conducted a single blinded randomized controlled trial on a total of 23 patients with early knee osteoarthritis who were randomly allocated to the gait retraining group and walking exercise group. Twenty of them completed the corresponding training and the 6-month evaluation. We measured KAM, knee flexion moment (KFM) and western ontario and McMaster universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index before, immediate after, and 6 months after training. A repeated measures analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to compare KAM, KFM and WOMAC osteoarthritis index scores across the three time points i.e., pre-training, post-training, and 6-month follow-up with gender, knee osteoarthritis severity, and pre-training KAM, KFM and WOMAC scores set as covariates. Post-hoc analyses were conducted when indicated.Significant time × group interactions were found for both KAM and WOMAC osteoarthritis index scores (P 0.002). No interaction was found for KFM (P = 0.123). KAM after gait retraining was significantly lower than the pre-training value (P 0.001) and such effect was maintained at 6-month follow-up (P = 0.01). There was no significant difference in the KAM across time in the walking exercise group (P 0.208). WOMAC osteoarthritis index score after training and score at the 6-month follow-up were significantly improved in the gait retraining group (P = 0.001), while the WOMAC osteoarthritis index score remained similar.Gait retraining is an effective intervention to reduce KAM during walking and to improve the symptoms of patients with early knee osteoarthritis in short term.
