I have a patient with large thighs and I need to unload her medial compartment bilateral. She has no clearance for even one medial joint let alone two, so walking with bilateral KO's will be impossible. I have contacted all manufactures that I can think of with no success.
 
So my question is: Are their any techniques or manufactures that might be able to provide such a force without a medial joint. Any help is appreciated!
 
Thank You!
