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.
