Supporting Knee Function in Osteoarthritis
The Unloader One® X is a medical device designed to provide unicompartmental offloading of the knee joint. Its patented 3-Point Leverage System is intended to reduce loading in the affected compartment of the knee, which may help relieve symptoms associated with osteoarthritis while being worn.
The brace has been investigated in clinical studies for its potential to support mobility and functional activity. Its low-profile, lightweight design is intended for comfort during day-to-day tasks.
Clinically Researched Knee Support for Osteoarthritis
Unloader braces have been evaluated in multiple clinical and biomechanical studies exploring their design and use in managing symptoms associated with knee osteoarthritis. These studies have investigated their potential role in joint unloading and mobility support while being worn.
How Do Unloader Braces Work?
Unloader knee braces are designed to reduce load on the affected side of the knee using a 3-Point Leverage System. The thigh and calf shells provide two points of support, while the Dynamic Force System™ (DFS) straps create a third, producing a valgus or varus force that may help reduce pressure in the targeted compartment.
Unloader One X is a lightweight, low-profile brace that is designed to be worn discreetly under clothing. It features SmartDosing® dials, allowing wearers to easily adjust strap tension during the day for comfort and support while being worn.
