How effective are the custom made knee Braces in Osteoarthritis?
The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) state, in their 2014 guidelines, that
treatment for osteoarthritis should take a holistic approach. This should include, at its simplest, patient education and nonpharmacological treatment like exercise, weight loss, aids, and devices such as knee braces, insoles, and walking sticks. NICE guidelines recommend the use of knee braces for the treatment of osteoarthritis, as part of the no pharmacological management.
An Update on Unloading Knee Braces in the Treatment of Unicompartmental Knee Osteoarthritis from the Last 10 Years: A Literature Review in 2018 concluded Unloader braces are an economical and effective treatment for unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis. They can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life and potentially delay the need for surgery.
