Ornetti P, et al. Clinical effectiveness and safety of a distraction-rotation knee brace for medial knee osteoarthritis. Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine
Date: 2015

Conclusion(s) of the study:
Conclusions:
- Decrease in pain relating to the internal medial compartment of the knee after 6 weeks, which was maintained beyond 52 weeks
- Good levels of treatment compliance relative to other orthotic devices
- Substantial decrease in analgesic (“pain”) medications
- 2 out of 3 patients on work leave due to their knee condition were able to resume professional activities
- All patients who had stopped physical activity were able to be physically active again
- 10% increase in walking speed within the first weeks of treatment

Laroche D, et al. Biomechanical effectiveness of a distraction–rotation knee brace in medial knee osteoarthritis: Preliminary results. Knee
Date: 2014

Conclusion(s) of the study:
Conclusions:
- Average walking speed was increased after 5 weeks wearing the brace
- Immediate decrease in pain upon application to the affected knee
- External rotation of the knee was confirmed to reduce weight bearing on the knee
- The redistribution of weight bearing to the external lateral compartment of the knee helped relieve the internal medial compartment affected by arthrosis
- Improvement within 2 months of the joint function of the knee
