This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a device called AposHealth—a special shoe that is worn at home to help manage knee arthritis pain. The study will see whether wearing this device can help people who might need knee replacement surgery avoid surgery altogether, or help people recover better if they've already had the surgery.
Knee arthritis affects millions of Americans and is very expensive to treat when surgery becomes necessary. While surgery works for some people, doctors want better non-surgical options that address how people walk and move. This treatment aims to fill that gap.
You will be fitted with the AposHealth device at the clinic and given a home-based treatment plan. You'll start by wearing the device for about 20 minutes per day, gradually increasing over time to about 60 minutes daily while going about your routine. You'll have follow-up visits after 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, where the device will be adjusted as needed and your progress will be checked.
