| Opedix, the first wearable equipment from Opedix Labs, takes load off the knees — literally. Less load means less stress on your knees which translates to less wear and tear. Ingrained in Opedix DNA are principals of traditional un-loader knee-bracing theory which reduces the knee-adductor moment to reduce medial knee-compartment load - a combination of muscle, ligament, and ground-reaction forces which significantly, and often detrimentally, increases in magnitude during physical activities like skiing. This mechanical process is referred to by scientists as “unloading” the knee and is a established strategy for reducing pain, increasing physical function of the knee joint, and mitigating the progression of lower-extremity pathologies including osteoarthritis. | |||||||
