Dear Colleague
 
Did you know that the Breg DUO (Dynamic Unloading Osteoarthritis) is the only
dual-upright dynamic OA brace on the market ?
 
Dynamic braces are designed to unload only when it's needed and provide comfort and support when it's not.
POWER WHEN YOU NEED IT, FREEDOM WHEN YOU DON'T.

It works to apply a corrective force in the last 30 degrees of extension, preparing for heelstrike, when the most relief is needed. That load is removed as the knee moves into flexion and symptoms are no longer present. DUO is ideal for OA patients who wear braces for extended periods of time. Additionally, DUO provides support for ligament instability.

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.
