Knee Brace and Muscle Training for Osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a knee brace and doing muscle training exercises can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better and move more easily. It may be a good option if you have not had knee surgery and are not already in another treatment program.
