Petersen W, et al. - Authors evaluated the outcomes of patients with medial osteoarthritis (OA) after treatment with a conventional knee unloader brace (Unloader One®) vs a new foot ankle orthosis (Agilium FreeStep®). Researchers randomized 160 patients (> 35 years) with medial OA to treatment with Unloader One® or treatment with Agilium FreeStep®. Findings suggested equal efficacy for the foot ankle brace and a conventional knee unloader brace for treatment of medial knee OA in terms of clinical outcome. Compared to the Unloader One group (66.7%), significantly less patients reported bruises in the Agilium FreeStep® group (23.5%).
