Abstract
Although results are variable among patients, and may be related to individual technique, these overall findings suggest that walking poles do not decrease knee adduction moments, and therefore likely do not decrease medial compartment loads, in patients with varus gonarthrosis. Decreases in knee joint loading should not be used as rationale for walking pole use in these patients.
