Description
The Softforce Reliever is an off-the-shelf, single upright (one hinge) unloading knee brace intended to treat unicompartmental osteoarthritis. This arthritis brace works well with geriatrics because minimal finger dexterity is required to put it on. The thigh section is anterior closure and the calf section is slip on. This knee brace is easy to use.
The hinge is placed on the opposite side of the affected compartment.
