In Vivo Three-Dimensional Determination of Osteoarthritis Brace Effectiveness
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Breg Osteoarthritis Brace gait fluoroscopy, Gait fluoroscopy without brace, and 2 other interventions for Osteoarthritis, Knee. Completed, enrolled 23 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
In vivo knee kinematics will be assessed for 20 subjects that have been clinically diagnosed with substantial unicompartmental osteoarthritis (OA) by one of the surgeons of Colorado Joint Replacement; this is the location from which participants will be recruited. The objective of this study will be to analyze subjects with symptomatic unicompartmental osteoarthritis under in vivo dynamic, weight-bearing conditions using video fluoroscopy to determine if present-day OA knee braces provide separation of the femoral condyle from the tibial plateau, thus avoiding excessive loads on the degenerative compartment.
