Official title
Examining the Efficacy of a Tri-Compartment Unloader Knee Brace During Physical Rehabilitation in Non-Surgical Patients With Anterior Knee Pain
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will examine clinical outcomes related to pain and function in patients with anterior knee pain (i.e. focal patella and/or trochlea cartilage defect(s), patellofemoral arthritis) before and after standard of care, non-surgical management with and without the addition of a Tri-Compartment Unloader (TCU) knee brace during activities of daily living. Randomly selected participants will wear a TCU brace for several weeks during physical therapy and activities of daily living that is designed to reduce compressive forces in all three compartments of the knee during weight-bearing flexion. Our hypothesis is that TCU bracing will improve clinical outcomes related to pain and function.
