What is Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition that causes a gradual breakdown of the cartilage in your knee joint. As the condition progresses and the cartilage gets worn away, the bones can start to rub and grind against each other which causes pain. The pain can often be felt when you bend, walk, use stairs, or even when you’re resting. This is a chronic degenerative condition, which means that it gradually worsens over time.

Approximately 5 million Canadians live with OA and 40% of OA patients report a reduction in their activity.

Knee osteoarthritis can start as minor pain and discomfort but it can soon progress as the joint becomes more vulnerable and sensitive to activities. The gradual progression of cartilage loss can take months to years to progress. Various life and activity modifications such as weight management and altered activities to reduce stresses to the knee joint can help slow osteoarthritis over time. Custom knee bracing for osteoarthritis is another important step to help in the overall function and to delay the wear and tear in a knee joint. A custom knee brace will help change the forces in the knee joint thus protecting already worn down areas.

Osteoarthritis & Unloader Bracing

An unloader knee brace is used to provide stability, support, and pain relief if you have knee osteoarthritis. With osteoarthritis often one side of the joint will be more severe, painful, have less cartilage and less joint space. Using an unloader brace will help to take pressure off this affected side, reduce pain and increase joint space. With more than 15 clinical studies demonstrating its benefits, Össur Unloader osteoarthritis bracing is the industry standard.
