Sizing Guide
Measure the thigh circumference (cm) – 15 cm above the center of the knee brace.
Varus and valgus knee are misalignments that affect the distribution of load on the knee cartilage. This misalignment is directly associated with gonarthrosis (knee osteoarthritis) as it leads to accelerated and uneven cartilage wear. A healthcare professional should evaluate and recommend the use of this knee brace.
