It is most commonly used for knee pain related to medial (inner) compartment osteoarthritis and varus alignment (\u201cbow-legged\u201d posture). It works by applying a controlled corrective force at the knee during standing and walking. It is typically prescribed and fitted in orthopedic, sports medicine, and physical therapy settings."}
