Summary
Early-onset knee osteoarthritis (OA) imparts a considerable burden on younger adults, by restricting physical activity, quality-of-life and work capacity. Treatment options for younger adults with early-onset OA are limited. I will investigate the immediate and medium-term effects of a commercially available brace on symptoms and physical function in people with early-onset knee OA. If beneficial, the brace may have capacity to improve the impact of early-onset knee OA in younger Australians.
