Introducing Townsend Design's approach to Osteo Arthritis Knee Bracing.

Many times, these are indications of Osteo Arthritis, or Degenerative Bone Disease (DJD).

This condition occurs when the cushioning between the bones (cartilage, meniscus) has either worn away or has been torn due to injury in the past. When this cushioning is no longer there, the result is bone on bone grinding that leaves the knee in much pain as well as bone loss. The options are usually either knee surgery or > ...> Osteo Arthritis bracing.

Osteo Arthritis bracing is a non-invasion, non-surgical approach to degenerative bone disease. By relieving pressure on the effected knee compartment, pain is greatly reduced as well as bone stock saved.

Osteo Arthritis bracing, while not necessarily new, has gone through many new advances in design and support, or at least should have.

Combining proven brace technology with while correcting skeletal alignment, the Premier OA series has again set the standard for bracing osteoarthritis. The Townsend approach, anatomical correction in a rigid frame, done comfortably for patient relief from the painful malady that is osteoarthritis. A double upright system, in durable carbon/graphite and titanium, gives our Townsend Premier OA the strength you need to allow many years of relief.

Glide and Roll Hinge - THE NATURAL MOVEMENT OF THE KNEE

This demonstrates the anatomical advantage of the Townsend Motion Hinge. Recognizing that knee center moves throughout range of motion, our hinge accommodates that movement, while other brace manufacturers ignore it. The benefits to a roll and glide hinge on our braces mean less migration and total shell to skin contact throughout. Both are not only critical but essential to effective knee bracing.
