Biomechanical Analysis of Valgus-Inducing Knee Brace in Osteoarthritis

This study investigates the stiffness of a knee brace and its effect on knee osteoarthritis through force application and deformation measurements. The demonstration highlights the relation between reaction force and deformation based on established equations. The force measuring station and spring dynamometer are utilized to assess biomechanical effectiveness. The research explores the impact of the valgus-inducing knee brace for knee osteoarthritis. Findings contribute to understanding brace functionality and potential benefits for patients.
