Patello-femoral
pain (knee pain) can occur in one or both knees and
it is one of the most common causes of knee pain. Patello-femoral
pain is felt in the front of the knee and occurs when
the patella is compressed against the femoral groove.
The
compression forces increase the further the knee is
bent and as a result pain usually increases as well.
Therefore, patello-femoral pain may be made worse by
activities that involve repetitive bending of the knee.
Pain is often felt going up or down stairs or after
sitting for long periods of time. Patello-femoral pain
can be accompanied by "clicking" or "grinding"
and sometimes by a feeling that the knee "catches"
or wants to "give way".The primary cause of
knee pain is overpronation.
This can be controlled via sports insoles. People suffering
with knee pain have been forced to live with the pain
no longer have to put up with this condition while standing,
walking or running. View the dr foot insoles range.
Orthotic
Proof Sources and Safety Data.
The use of foot orthotics has been researched and tested
by leading institutions around the world, and is widely
accepted in the medical community. Foot orthotics/ foot
insoles are used in both public and private hospitals
and clinics.
Clinical studies and field research verify the value
of orthotics in relieving knee pain and improving the
structural integrity of the knee. Flexible orthotics
control foot motion without restricting function and
creating compensatory movement in other structures.
