For Mild Osteoarthritis, A Simple Brace Can Help
For people with lower activity levels, simple knee braces can be of assistance. They are easy to put on and comfortable to wear but they do not have the ability of offload the joint like more substantial braces.
Simple offloading braces for mild osteoarthritis include examples such as the Donjoy "OA Lite". It has a simple pull on design with velcro straps and a single hinge with a set amount of offloading built into the upright. If the offloading is too excessive the hinge can be removed and bent to reduce the offloading angle.
