Unloading knee brace designed to reduce pressure and support walking
This knee brace for osteoarthritis helps reduce pressure on the painful side of the joint. It also supports the knee and improves stability during walking. The adjustable fastening allows the level of support to be adapted to the user.
The knee brace for osteoarthritis is designed for people whose condition mainly affects one side of the knee joint.
The brace moves part of the pressure away from the painful area. As a result, it may improve comfort during walking and everyday activities.
The side hinges guide the knee during movement. They also provide support without completely restricting the leg.
An adjustable fastening system controls the level of tension. Therefore, the support can be adapted to the user’s comfort and medical recommendations.
The straps secure the brace around the thigh and calf. Their position also helps reduce rubbing behind the knee.
This brace may support the conservative treatment of knee osteoarthritis. In some cases, it may also be used after surgery. However, professional advice is always required.
The correct side and unloading direction are essential. Indeed, the brace must reduce pressure on the affected part of the knee.
At OrthoGreen Mobility in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Brussels, we help you choose and adjust a knee brace that matches your prescription.
