About this trial
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of lateral wedged insoles with subtalar strapping in genu varum with medial compartment knee pain on:
1. Space between knees (measured by vernier calipers) 2. Degree of genu varum deformity (Femorotibial angle (FTA)) measured on long film weight bearing x-ray) 3. Pain level (Measured by VAS) 4. Hind foot angle (measured by long axial hindfoot alignment view) 5. Functional outcome (measured by the lower extremity function scale) 6. Functional performance (measured by the 6 minute walk test)

Disqualifiers
