  • Stance-correcting knee brace
    Patent number: 6110138
    Abstract: Pain associated with unicompartmental osteoarthritis is relieved, and external varus or valgus movement about the knee is counteracted, by a soft brace in which a single cable pulled downwardly around the front of the femoral area adjacent the knee in one directon, and downwardly around the front of the tibial area adjacent the knee in the opposite direction, exerts a lateral force on the thigh and calf in one direction, and against the knee in the opposite direction.

  • Laterally adjustable knee brace
    Patent number: 5857988
    Abstract: In a cable-based external knee ligament system, tensioned cables are disposed in a zig-zag pattern on each side of the femoral, patellar and tibial areas, and the load on selected ligaments can be varied by laterally moving cable guides above and below the knee which form the zig-zag pattern.
