Flex-OA Mobility Shoe from Dr. Comfort

Flex-OA—the Mobility Shoe from Dr. Comfort—is clinically proven to reduce knee loads. Previous studies performed at the Mayo Clinic found that large loads at the knee contribute to the development of future chronic knee pain commonly associated with osteoarthritis, or OA (Amin A, Luepongsak N, McGibbon CA, LaValley MP, Krebs DE, Felson DT. Knee Adduction Moment and Development of Chronic Knee Pain in Elders. Arthritis & Rheumatism 51(3):371-375, 2004). Studies conducted by rheumatology experts at Rush University Medical Center on the patented design of the Flex-OA Mobility Shoe (U.S. Patent Number US7954261) found participants wearing the shoes experienced knee load reductions of 20 percent on average (Shakoor N, Lidtke RH, Fogg LF, Mikolaitis RA, Wimmer MA, Foucher KC, Thorp LE, Block JA. Flexible footwear reduces dynamic joint loads in knee osteoarthritis: Results of a six month randomized controlled trial. Arthritis & Rheumatism 64 (10):S114, 2012).
