Which type of knee brace is good for someone who has arthritis in the knee?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several: Patients with arthritis can get benefit from a number of knee braces ranging from compression sleeeves to custom off-loading braces. The off loading braces are designed to take some of the pressure off the most arthritic area of a person's knee.

Hinged knee brace: Bracing may provide basic support which allows for a decrease in pain and increased daily function. With osteoarthritis, the general pain and discomfort due to wear and tear can be a daily struggle. Increasing the support to the surrounding structures minimizes the general overuse and constant pain that you may experience, allowing for an increased ability to perform the activities of daily living.
