original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Unloading Shoes for Self-Management of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Trial
Ann Intern Med. 2016 Jul 12164 patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) were randomized to wear either unloading walking shoes or conventional walking shoes, to be worn for at least 4 hours per day for a duration of 6 months. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of unloading walking shoes was able to reduce pain and improve physical functioning compared to conventional walking shoes in patients with knee OA. Findings indicated no significant differences between groups for improvement in pain or physical function outcomes over the 6 months.
