ROAM OA: Functional and Patient Reported Outcomes Wearing a Knee Brace for Unicompartmental OA
Sponsor: Rush University Medical Center
Summary
The aim of this study is to conduct a comparative evaluation of the ROAM OA Single Upright Brace and the Ossur Unloader One Knee Brace in subjects with medial compartment osteoarthritis. The focus is on comparing the immediate and short-term biomechanical effects of these braces on knee adduction moments and spatiotemporal gait parameters, as well as assessing the long-term efficacy of the ROAM OA brace in improving pain and functional outcomes for individuals with osteoarthritis.
