ANATOMICAL BRACE FOR DYNAMICALLY STABILIZING THE PATELLA DURING KNEE ARTICULATION SO AS TO ADDRESS PATELLA TRACKING ERROR

摘要

An anatomical brace for dynamically stabilizing the patella during knee articulation so as to address patella tracking error, the anatomical brace being configured such that, when the anatomical brace is mounted to the knee of a patient, and when the knee thereafter moves to full extension, the anatomical brace applies a proximal/medial force to the patella of the patient, and when the knee thereafter moves to full flexion, the proximal/medial force is released.
