The Swede-O OA Knee Brace is designed specifically for patients with unicompartmental osteoarthritis. The Swede-O OA Knee Brace is the first OA knee brace that provides the necessary unloading of the patient’s knee for pain relief and corrects gait abnormalities associated with OA. This new approach in osteoarthritis knee treatment helps relieve continuing pain associated with the deterioration of the knee joint and delays the progression of OA.
An innovative double upright offset design provides superior unloading of the knee joint and significantly reduces the pain caused by osteoarthritis. The medial hinge controls both flexion and extension to protect the knee when necessary while an adjustable dynamic fulcrum on the lateral upright creates gait swing assist that enhances walking efficiency. This adjustable dynamic brace helps rehabilitate the knee by strengthening the patient’s quadriceps muscles.
Another special feature of the Swede-O OA Knee Brace is the use of two contoured air bladders. The upper air bladder is positioned at mid-knee to provide a corrective valgus or varus force that improves knee joint alignment and the second contoured air bladder aids in lower leg alignment. The air actuator allows quick and easy adjustments for individualized fit, comfort and high patient compliance. Clinicians will see visible improvements in gait, leg strength, foot placement and overall physical capabilities.
The Swede-O OA Knee Brace is available in five sizes (S, M, L, XL, XXL) to fit most patients.

TESTIMONIAL:
78 Year Old Female:
…my patient was suffering from osteoarthritis of the left knee. She could not walk without the use of a cane and even then it was severely painful. After putting on the OA Knee Brace she was able to walk confidently and PAIN FREE! The patient was so excited because she could finally enjoy visits with her grand-children and not have to be distracted by the constant knee pain she had for many years. J.S., OTR from East Hartford, CT.
