Abstract
Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease in adults. Cartilage loss in OA afflicted joints causes pain, disability and reduced quality of life. The knee is the most common location of OA, with the majority of cases being bi- and tri- compartment knee OA. Knee pain associated with OA has a mechanical component and excessive joint loading induces knee pain. The Levitation “Tri-Compartment Unloader” (TCU) knee brace (Spring Loaded Technology) was designed to reduce pain in individuals suffering from multi-compartment knee OA.
