What Are Osteoarthritis ?
Osteoarthritis is a complex condition involving the entire joint. It's mainly known as a wear-and-tear type of arthritis that commonly affects the knees of older people. The disease frequently affects one side of your knee more than the other. This unequal damage can cause your knee to align imperfectly (malalignment), which can make you look knock-kneed or bowlegged.
As the damage progresses, this malalignment worsens. Our Dr Edmund Lee 3D Custom OA Knee brace can take pressure off the part of your joint most affected by osteoarthritis and help relieve pain. If your knee feels like it might buckle when you put weight on it, a knee brace can also help you stand and move around with more confidence.
PREVALENCE
-
Osteoarthritis affects over 32.5M adults and is the single most common cause of disability in older adults.
-
According to the United Nations, by 2050 people aged over 60 will account for more than 20% of the world’s population.
-
Of that 20%, a conservative estimate of 15% will have symptomatic OA, and one-third of these people will be severely disabled. This means that by 2050, 130 million people will suffer from OA worldwide, of whom 40 million will be severely disabled by the disease.
