A. The perfect brace for these individuals is the OAdjuster. An off-the-shelf brace, it can be molded and shaped to a patient’s leg without compromising the functionality of the product. This unique brace features an adjustable frame that can vary the force applied to the knee, thereby treating unicompartmental osteoarthritis. It is also a double upright brace that can accommodate for ligamentous instabilities. Other braces that feature a single upright, can only be used to treat unicompartmental OA.
