Effect of unloading brace treatment on pain and function in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: the ROTOR randomized clinical trial.

Evidence is still inconclusive for the benefits of bracing in patients with knee osteoarthritis. To assess the effect of REBEL RELIEVER unloading knee brace in conservative treatment of knee osteoarthritis, a randomized controlled trial was conducted in 67 patients with symptomatic medial knee osteoarthritis, who randomly received 6-week treatment with either REBEL RELIVER unloading knee brace + usual care (Brace group, N = 32) or usual care alone (Control group, N = 35). Primary outcome was the global last 24h-pain relief (100-mm visual analogic scale [VAS]) at 6 weeks.

An Auto-Adjustable Night Garment to Control Early Rebound Effect of Edema Volume After Intensive Phase of Decongestive Lymphedema Therapy.

Background: Lymphedema of the arm and/or hand is a well-established complication of breast cancer therapy. The objective of the study was to determine the interest of auto-adjustable MOBIDERM Autofit night arm sleeve in controlling edema rebound effect in breast cancer-related lymphedema patients just after a successful intensive phase of decongestive lymphedema therapy (DLT).

Materials And Methods: This is a subgroup analysis of MARILYN Study, conducted on 40 patients after completion of intensive DLT.
