A lateral-wedge insole could reduce pain in medial knee osteoarthritis. Cushioning insoles and footwear with shock absorbance could be proposed for hip osteoarthritis by authors' recommendations.
Nocturnal splints for base-of-thumb osteoarthritis are recommended to reduce pain and disability.
Aerobic, strengthening, range-of-motion and proprioceptive exercise are recommended to decrease pain and improve function and quality of life in knee and hip osteoorthritis. Strengthening and range-of-motion exercise is recommended for hand osteoarthritis.
