Mobile Orthoses Used for the Osteoarthritic Knee Stabilization

Abstract:

In the present paper, a review of some of the common orthoses designed for osteoarthritis of the knee is performed. The functional and constructive characteristics and the main advantages that recommend them for use are presented.
