Who is the OA Unloading Telescopic Brace suitable for?
It is designed primarily for people with osteoarthritis affecting one side of the knee joint where unloading of the medial or lateral compartment is required. Professional assessment is advisable if you are unsure whether an unloading brace is suitable.

How does an OA unloading knee brace work?
The brace is designed to redistribute load away from the affected side of the knee joint. Its adjustable varus/valgus hinge allows the unloading effect to be configured for either the medial or lateral compartment.

How do I know whether the medial or lateral compartment needs unloading?
This depends on where the osteoarthritis or joint degeneration is located. If this has not already been identified by a healthcare professional, seek clinical guidance before configuring the brace.

Do I choose Left or Right?
Choose the version corresponding to the knee being supported: Left for the left knee and Right for the right knee.

Is the brace adjustable?
Yes. The telescopic thigh section and adjustable straps allow the brace length and fit to be adapted to the wearer.

Can I wear the brace under clothing?
It may fit beneath loose-fitting trousers, although its structured unloading frame is bulkier than a simple knee sleeve.

Will the brace stay in position during movement?
The adjustable straps and padded linings with anti-slip silicone detailing are designed to help keep the brace positioned during normal activity.

Can an unloading brace cure knee osteoarthritis?
No. An unloading brace does not cure osteoarthritis. It is designed to support the knee and alter loading through the affected compartment as part of symptom management.
