Knee osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis, also known as wear-and-tear arthritis, is an age-related condition. In a healthy joint, movement is smooth thanks to the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones between the joints.
Over the years, cartilage loses its properties and becomes dehydrated. In this case, knee movement becomes painful and destroys bones. Other factors, such as poor diet or being overweight, lead to misalignment and wear of the knee. Knee damage caused by osteoarthritis can lead to the appearance of a Baker's cyst. The Baker's cyst is located in the popliteal fossa and causes pain and bruising. The best solution for knee osteoarthritis is our knee brace.
Product Description
The knee brace is an excellent product for knee osteoarthritis. The brace is open design, which allows easy application for people with limited hand functions. It is made of lightweight and comfortable UniPren™ waterproof fabric.
UniPren™ is a loop fabric that allows for easy adjustment of compression. As a result, the knee brace provides therapeutic compression and reduces bruising.
In addition, the orthosis is equipped with a lightweight hinge and two 1R plastic lateral splints. The splints allow the range of motion to be adjusted every 15 degrees and immobilize the knee if necessary.
The design of the orthosis allows it to be used in case of Baker's cyst. The back of the knee brace is a "free zone" and does not cause compression of the Baker's cyst.
This solution allows the bandages in the popliteal fossa to be changed without having to remove the orthosis from the leg.
Knee orthosis is an excellent support in case of knee instability and pain syndromes. It maintains the alignment of the knee joint and allows smooth movement of the knee. Knee orthosis stabilizes the knee joint and immobilizes it if necessary. An orthosis offers a wide range of circumferential adjustments. Therefore, the orthosis can be used in case of differences in the size of the leg, for example when swelling subsides.
