A Genu Varum Brace is a medical support device designed to correct bow-leggedness (genu varum) or knock-knees (genu valgum) by applying a 3-point pressure system to realign the knee joint, often used for conditions like Blount’s disease or osteoarthritis, providing stability and reducing stress, typically used during rest or for alignment correction in children and adults.
Key Features & Functionality:
- Corrective Alignment: Uses leverage and pressure to gently push the knee joint medially (inward) to correct bowed legs or counteract knock-knees, improving gait and preventing further damage.
- Three-Point Pressure System: Distributes forces to achieve correction, often involving an inflatable pad, straps, and rigid stays for support.
- Non-Weight Bearing Design: Many models are intended for use during rest to manage alignment, not during walking or active movement, although some feature joints for limited mobility.
- Support for Various Conditions: Manages genu varum, genu valgum, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid deformities, and can prevent further bowing in children and adults.
- Comfort & Fit: Made from breathable materials, often with silicone grips to prevent slipping, and adjustable straps for a secure fit.
