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.
Valgus bracing for knee osteoarthritis: a meta-analysis of randomized trials
Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken). 2015 Apr;67(4):493-501.6 studies were used to determine the pain reduction and functional improvement gained from valgus knee bracing in comparison to no or alternate orthosis. Results of meta-analysis suggested valgus bracing was significantly favoured over control treatment with no orthosis for pain and function outcomes, and over control treatment with alternative orthosis therapy for pain outcome. No significant difference was found when specifically comparing functional improvement of valgus braces to alternate orthoses.
