Excessive knee joint loads during walking can contribute to knee osteoarthritis progression. Changing the rotation of the foot (in-toeing or out-toeing) while walking can lower knee joint loads and improve pain and function. Telerehabilitation (using video or telephone communication to delivery rehabilitation) has shown promise in delivering exercise therapy for knee osteoarthritis, but it is unknown if walking modifications can be delivered using this method. This study consists of a six-week walking modification program in people with knee osteoarthritis. Performance of the modification will be measured using motion capture and wearable sensors during practice and daily life.
