The Spring loaded knee brace which is the first of its kind to tackle tri compartment knee OA and it has finally arrived in the UK market. After many years of waiting, Orthotics.co.uk are a proud partner and clinical supplier of the Spring loaded knee brace.
Traditional offloader knee braces work by shifting pressure from one side of the knee to the other, targeting only a single compartment of the joint. In contrast, Spring Loaded knee braces provide comprehensive support by actively reducing load across all three knee compartments at once. This groundbreaking design offers an effective solution for individuals with multicompartmental or patellofemoral osteoarthritis, delivering unmatched relief and enhanced mobility.
It achieves this via the spring loaded hinges on either side of the knee.The Spring loaded knee brace absorbs energy as the knee is bent and then releases the energy as the knee is straightened. Both the range of motion and the amount of force expelled by the brace can be adjusted to suit your needs.
Unlike traditional knee braces that rely on strapping this dynamic spring loaded brace uses advanced spring technology to actively reduce joint pressure and enhance mobility. This innovative approach provides support across the entire knee joint, offering relief for individuals with osteoarthritis (OA) regardless of the pattern of degeneration. Additionally, this technology can benefit those recovering from meniscus damage, ligament injuries, or other knee-related conditions, helping to restore function and reduce discomfort.
