A Simple Method for Measuring the Changeable Mechanical Action of Unloader Knee Braces for Osteoarthritis

ConclusionThese results demonstrate the validity of the proposed device for measuring constraints induced by the dynamic unloader knee brace. An example of an application is provided through an orthosis moment calculation using kinematic data, which reveal a changeable mechanical action, necessary to improve comfort resulting in potentially better compliance.Graphical abstract
