What is Osteoarthritis (OA)?

Arthritis refers to more than 100 diseases that affect the joints and their surrounding tissues. Osteoarthritis, or OA, is the most common form of arthritis. The statistics on OA are staggering:

Nearly 21 million people in the United States have OA*
The incidence of OA is expected to increase even more as the U.S. population ages*
Over 7 million Americans are limited in their ability to participate in their main daily activities because of their arthritis*

The joint most often affected by osteoarthritis is the knee. Knee OA is caused by the degeneration or breakdown of articular cartilage that covers the ends of the bones that meet at the joint. Cartilage serves as a cushion between the bones, providing a smooth surface for the bones to move against each other.When the cartilage deteriorates the bones may actually be rubbing together. Your physician will often refer to this as “bone-on-bone” osteoarthritis.

What is Osteoarthritis (OA) knee bracing and how does it work?

Knee braces are available that are specifically designed to treat OA. They stabilize the joint, reduce pain and help to build stronger muscles, which allows patients to return to the activities they love. Load redistribution and joint alignment Through a process called “off-loading” or shifting, OA braces relieve pain by redistributing the weight bearing load on the painful or affected compartment of the joint to the healthy or unaffected compartment. Increased function Studies have shown that wearing an OA brace can increase daily functions and decrease pain. Patients diagnosed with OA who wear a knee brace will generally feel better in the morning, be more active during the day, and rest more comfortably at night.

What to expect from a Osteoarthritis (OA) knee brace

Braces cannot cure OA and may not be right for everyone. However, it is a viable solution for many people. The ideal candidates are typically active people who are motivated to strengthen their muscles and willing to wear a brace to realize the benefits of this form of treatment.
Discuss treatment goals with your doctor and others on your health care team before you get a brace.
Don’t expect a brace to feel good from the start. It may take from a week to a month to get used to how the brace feels on your leg. Be patient. It took a long time for your knee OA to develop.
Bracing has come close to eliminating pain for some people with knee OA, while others experience moderate relief.

Questions on DonJoy OA Everyday Osteoarthritis Knee Brace

From Misty thompson at 4/7/11 6:45 PM
- What is the difference between medial and lateral
- Hey Misty
  Medial and lateral refer to anatomical landmarks. If you were looking at someone standing directly in front of you, facing you, and you drew an imaginary line down the middle of their body splitting them into equal halves, anything towards the line would be medial, and away from the line would be lateral. The inside of the leg which is towards the line is the medial side of the leg, the outside of the leg which is further away from that line is the lateral side of the leg. In this case, the medial compartment of the knee is towards the inside of the leg, and the lateral compartment of the knee is towards the outside of the leg.
  
  Thanks

- need the plastic closure piece for one of the straps. how do i get one
- Hello Bill,
  
  You'll need to contact the manufactuer directly at 800-336-6569 and requesr replacement male clips for the OA everday straps.

From Texas Gal at 12/7/11 7:17 AM
- I have purchased an OA Everyday. Is there a video on how to correctly fit my brace to my knee? Or a PDF? I have lost the little paper that came with my brace.
  Thanks!
- We will eventually have videos up on how to fit a brace properly, but at this time we do not. I will forward you the PDF instructions.

From Robert at 12/15/11 3:52 PM
- Would you recommend this brace for someone who has knee hyperextension from a stroke ?
- No this product is for people with Osteoarthritis. You would benefit from a product with Fourcepoint Hinges such as the FullFource or Armor. This hinge has a dampening affect through extension, like having break pads on your car.

From Harold Hollis at 12/26/11 1:38 PM
- I have OA of the right knee with the damage portion being on the inside.
  As I understand this, if I order the DonJoy OA Everyday brace it would
  be “Medical Right”. Is this correct?
- Yes, you should order the medial unloader version.
  
  If you have additional questions, please call 1-800-553-6019.
  
  Have a nice day.

From Mark at 3/27/12 6:46 PM
- How can you clean the padding?
- Hand wash in the sink with laundry detergent, rinse, and air dry.

From Charlie at 8/9/12 11:30 AM
- Can the OA everyday brace be worn over clothing, orjust on the bare leg.
- You can wear it over clothing, but you may have some issues of it sliding down your leg.

From chris gleese at 8/24/12 9:27 AM
- I have a torn meniscus OA . after the surgery and therapy i now accured another problem my meniscus is gone and i 2mm gap between the area of my knee where my meniscus was im looking for a knee beace. i can really use the help so i can walk with out pain
- Chris,
  If you are looking for something for help with everyday activities of daily living then this is a great brace. It is low profile and fits under pants better than some of our bulkier braces.

From sal at 11/23/12 10:34 PM

- Hello, Sal -

  If you have further questions, we encourage you to contact our product specialists at 888-405-3251.
  
  Thank you and have a great day!

From Mike at 2/3/13 6:19 PM
- Can this brace be worn playing hockey or basketball? Will it slide down the leg when playing sports?
- Hello, Mike -
  
  The OA Everyday is not designed for athletic activities such as hockey or basketball. Although suspension (the brace sliding down the leg) should not be an issue, it was not designed to withstand high forces incurred while participating in these type of sports. The OA Everyday is made for activities of daily living, such as walking, yard work, stair ambulation, mild hiking. By wearing it during high level activity, you can either compromise the support of the brace or even damage the brace itself.
  
  If you have further questions, please feel free to contact our product specialists at 888-405-3251.
  
  Thank you and have a wonderful day!

From DAN at 6/19/13 6:50 PM
