1 Biomechanical effects of valgus knee bracing: a systematic review and meta-analysis 
R.F. Moyer, T.B. Birmingham, D.M. Bryant, J.R. Giffin, K.A. Marriott, K.M. Leitch  Osteoarthritis and Cartilage  Volume 23, Issue 2, Pages (February 2015) DOI: /j.joca Copyright © 2014 Osteoarthritis Research Society International Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 The 2009 PRISMA Flowchart. Thirty studies were included for descriptive and qualitative analysis. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage  , DOI: ( /j.joca ) Copyright © 2014 Osteoarthritis Research Society International Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 SMD and 95% CI for the external KAM during walking with and without a valgus knee brace. The diamond represents the pooled effect size using a random effects model. The vertical line at 0 represents no difference. Data to the right of 0 represent a decrease in the peak external KAM. According to the I2 and Q statistic (P value), heterogeneity was moderate and significant.

4 Fig. 3 Funnel plot representing publication bias across seventeen studies. The white and gray diamonds represent the observed and adjusted effect sizes for the KAM, respectively.
