“…The number of patients with painful knee due to OA continues to increase dramatically with the aging of society: the estimated number of patients exceeds 25 million in the United States (1) and 8 million in Japan (2). The main symptom of OA is pain, which is also the leading factor for patients making lifestyle changes and seeking medical intervention (3). The objectives of OA management, according to OA Research Society International, are to reduce pain and inflammation, slow-down cartilage degradation, improve function, and reduce disability (4).…”

“…Beaudreuil et al (2009) stated the clinical effectiveness of knee sleeve for knee osteoarthritis. Hrnack & Barber, (2014) suggested that knee brace was one of the effective management methods of the pain of knee osteoarthritis. Some studies investigated the alterations in proprioception in humans wearing knee sleeves.…”

The evaluation of multisegment coordination is important in gaining a better understanding of the gait and physical activities in humans. Therefore, this study aims to verify whether the use of knee sleeves affects the coordination of lower-limb segments during level walking and one-leg hopping. Eleven healthy male adults participated in this study. They were asked to walk 10 m on a level ground and perform one-leg hops with and without a knee sleeve. The segment angles and the response velocities of the thigh, shank, and foot were measured and calculated by using a motion analysis system. The phases between the segment angle and the velocity were then calculated. Moreover, the continuous relative phase (CRP) was calculated as the phase of the distal segment subtracted from the phase of the proximal segment and denoted as CRPTS (thigh–shank), CRPSF (shank–foot), and CRPTF (thigh–foot). The root mean square (RMS) values were used to evaluate the in-phase or out-of-phase states, while the standard deviation (SD) values were utilized to evaluate the variability in the stance and swing phases during level walking and in the preflight, flight, and landing phases during one-leg hopping. The walking velocity and the flight time improved when the knee sleeve was worn (p < 0.05). The segment angles of the thigh and shank also changed when the knee sleeve was worn during level walking and one-leg hopping. The RMS values of CRPTS and CRPSF in the stance phase and the RMS values of CRPSF in the preflight and landing phases changed (p < 0.05 in all cases). Moreover, the SD values of CRPTS in the landing phase and the SD values of CRPSF in the preflight and landing phases increased (p < 0.05 in all cases). These results indicated that wearing a knee sleeve caused changes in segment kinematics and coordination.
