Osteoarthritis
While knee braces cannot cure osteoarthritis, they are one of the most effective tools available for managing pain and treating the symptoms of the disease.
It can also help prevent the worsening of ones condition, which is why the earlier a knee brace is added to a treatment plan, the better the results.
Understanding Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the joint wears down over time. Traditional braces on the market do not adequately unload all compartments of the knee, including the patellofemoral compartment, which is associated with the majority of cases of knee osteoarthritis.
Benefits of Knee Braces for Osteoarthritis
Icarus braces generate a force that opposes the bending of the knee, so the knee feels significantly less weight. This results in reduced contact force between the patella and femur and, therefore reduces pain in arthritic knees
