Hello list,
I have a frail elderly lady in need of an OA knee brace. She is correctable to -15degrees valgus, her Right knee contacts her left during 2nd rocker creating a clearance problem. Ideally I am looking for something similar to the breg Freestyle OA Knee brace but the joint is too bulky and will need to be positioned medially. I am not convinced I can obtain enough correction to gain the necessary clearance. I need something easy to donn with repeatable results/correction. I showed her a rigid frame brace which she immediately rejects.
As always, I appreciate your responses.
