Interventions
Patients who are recommended for non-operative management of knee osteoarthritis and have been consented in clinic to participate in the study will be given a Reparel™ knee sleeve to wear for knee osteoarthritis management. Each device will be numbered and recorded in the patient's REDCap entry for future reference if needed.
