Shoe insoles tested for knee relief: new study launches
NCT ID NCT07639411
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how special shoe insoles (lateral wedges) change the way healthy adults walk and run. Thirty participants will try insoles with different angles while their movement and muscle activity are measured. The goal is to see if these insoles can reduce knee joint stress, which might help people with knee pain in the future.
