ABSTRACT:
Pain associated with unicompartmental osteoarthritis is relieved, and external varus or valgus movement about the knee is counteracted, by a soft brace in which a single cable pulled downwardly around the front of the femoral area adjacent the knee in one directon, and downwardly around the front of the tibial area adjacent the knee in the opposite direction, exerts a lateral force on the thigh and calf in one direction, and against the knee in the opposite direction.
