Abstract
The use and design of most patellar orthotics on the market today is unclear and often lacks a solid biomechanical foundation. The practical mechanical function of these braces is to reduce the lateral displacement of abnormal patellofemoral tracking. Orthotics that are designed and tested using practical biomechanical principles for applying a medially directed force to the patella seem to have a role in treating patients with knee pain secondary to patellar malalignment and instability. Well-defined and controlled clinical studies of the use of patellar braces are lacking. Verf.-Referat
