Case Study 1: Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis Offloading Efficacy
OA Knee Bracing
Clinical Challenge
Patients presenting with moderate-to-severe unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis experienced chronic articular pain, reduced gait speed, and reliance on prescription analgesics. Traditional conservative therapies offered limited mechanical relief.
Therapeutic Intervention
Application of the VQ OActive 2 Unloading Knee Brace engineered by MOX Medical Technology Co., Ltd. Utilizing a dynamic leverage system with customizable varus/valgus angle adjustments, the orthosis targeted joint space separation to unload pressure from the affected cartilage.
Clinical Results & Observational Outcomes
In a multi-center 12-week clinical observation involving 140 patients, mechanical offloading significantly reduced visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores while enhancing daily physical functionality without surgical intervention.
