Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, characterized by joint pain, stiffness and disability. Proprioception declines with articular disease such as OA. It may affect the correct perception of the knee joint position and movement. The purpose: To investigate the effect of lateral wedged foot insole (LWI) on pain intensity level, physical function disability level and proprioception accuracy level of knee in medial knee osteoarthritis (MKOA). Subjects: Thirty patients were randomly assigned into 2 equal groups participated in the study. Group A with mean age of46.57±6.04 years, mean weight 83.92±5.07 kg, mean height 160.42±2.84 cm and mean body mass index (BMI) 31.28±2.84 kg/m2. Group B with mean age of 47.54±9.39 years, mean weight 82.9±10.27 Kg, mean height 165.36±7.01 cm and mean BMI 30±5.11 Kg/m2. Method: Measurements were conducted pre, during treatment; post one month of commencement of the treatment and immediately post three months of commencement of the treatment in each group
