The genucentric joint orthosis.
Pain and instability of the knee, major causes of disability in the geriatric population, impair independence in ambulation and transfers, and lead to falls that can result in fractures of the hip and further deterioration of the knee joint. The newly developed genucentric joint seems effective in meeting the needs of the multiple-handicapped elderly with mediolateral instability of the knee, poor blood circulation, and limited energy. Clinical results indicate that the genucentric joint orthosis can be worn with significant improvements in comfort when compared to more common knee orthoses, eliminating migration and reducing pistoning to the point where it is undetectable.
