This is a useful infographic to help patients understand the anatomy of multicompartmental knee osteoarthritis, and the differences in function between a uni-compartment offloader knee brace and a tri-compartment offloader knee brace like Levitation.
Each TCO brace model significantly reduced PF, TF, PC ligament, PT and QT forces during a deep knee bend test.
Each TCO brace model significantly reduced knee joint loads by at least 32% when compared to the non-braced condition.
Results corroborate the knee joint offloading capabilities of a TCO, as demonstrated in a previous study (Budarick et al. 2020).
