How do you adjust the DUO brace for unloading?
It’s easy. The adjustable upright should sit on the side of the affected compartment. Simply use the attached “key” to loosen the rivets on the affected side. Next, lengthen the upright the desired number of increments to unload that compartment.
How does DUO unload the affected compartment?
During extension, the hinge on the affected compartment becomes longer while the opposite hinge becomes shorter. This increases the force to unload the affected compartment and relieve pain. During flexion when there are no symptoms of OA, that process is reversed and the force is reduced for increased comfort. DUO's innovative design provides the best of both worlds in comfort and pain relief.
