A Little about Osteoarthritis
The knee has 2 compartments, the inside (medial) compartment and the outside (lateral) compartment. Most of the time, when you get osteoarthritis of the knee, you wear down one compartment more than the other. In a majority of the cases, the inside of the knee wears down more, leading to a bowlegged appearance of the knee in extreme cases (medial compartment OA). Other times, the outside (lateral) compartment of the knee wears down leading to a knocked knee appearance of the knee (lateral compartment OA).
TheOssur Formfit OA Ease Knee Brace is designed to take the pressure off the compartment that is more severely worn down. For this knee brace to be fully effective, It is important to figure out which knee compartment (medial or lateral) is worn down more before deciding which OA Knee brace is right for you. One of our physiotherapists can help you make this decision. Feel free to contact us for help.
How Does The Ossur Formfit OA Ease Knee Brace Work?

The thigh and calf shells account for two points of leverage, while the Dynamic Force System™ (DFS) straps provide the third.
