The data were compared to their pre-treatment values (M1) and defined as follows: +1, improvement; 0, no change; and −1, worsening. Furthermore, the grade of the arthrosis in the affected joint was added to the table, regarding to the IEWG Scheme. OTE, overall treatment effectiveness; TG, treatment group; PG, placebo group; M, measurement point; SIPVFz, symmetry index of the peak vertical force; SIIFz, symmetry index of the vertical impulse; NSAID, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
