REBEL RELIEVER unloading knee brace picture (A) and mechanism of action (B). The REBEL RELIEVER unloading knee brace is universally adaptable for medial osteoarthritis (OA), lateral OA, and ligament instability. The brace is designed to stabilize the knee by gently applying a three-point corrective force to the leg. Townsend’s patented LoadShifter technology provides the necessary mechanical leverage to shift compressive forces away from the damaged side of the knee. The rigid superstructure of the brace effectively limits varus or valgus misalignment, and redistributes the patient’s weight across a broader aspect of the knee joint resulting in less pain.
