What is the OSSUR unloader knee brace?

Knee osteoarthritis is a common cause of knee pain in the UK. 1 in 5 people over 45 years of age will seek treatment for this complaint. If you have had a diagnosis of osteoarthritis, a degenerative meniscal tear or unicompartmental osteoarthritis you may want to consider wearing an ‘Unloader’ brace to reduce your pain and increase the function of your knee.
‘Unloader’ bracing has been shown to be an effective treatment in the management of knee osteoarthritis and meniscal tears. The ‘Ossur Unloader One’ brace has been recommended by NICE guidelines as it has been clinically proven to reduce pain and improve function in patients with knee osteoarthritis, in particular unicompartmental osteoarthritis.
Our bracing specialists at Complete Physio are based in our Chelsea, Angel, Swiss Cottage, and City clinics and have been specifically trained in measuring patients with injuries which are difficult to brace. The brace is simple to apply once it has been adjusted to your knee and is extremely comfortable compared to standard braces. The use of specialist bracing is used for injuries which require a bespoke brace, rather than an ‘over-the-counter’ brace. The ‘Ossur Unloader One’ brace can allow patients to continue with their day to day lives and play sport with a lightweight and effective brace.
