Popis: Objectives Patients undergoing medial arthroscopic partial meniscectomy are at increased risk of developing and/or progressing knee osteoarthritis, with increased medial compartment load being a potential contributor. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of a valgus unloader knee brace on knee joint moments in patients following medial arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. Design Within-participant design. Methods Twenty-two patients (age 35–55 years) who had undergone medial arthroscopic partial meniscectomy within the previous 8–15 months completed three-dimensional analysis of gait, forward lunge and one-leg rise during two conditions: with and without a valgus unloader knee brace. Outcome measures included the peak and impulse of the knee adduction moment and the peak knee flexion moment. Results The peak knee flexion moment increased during brace condition for forward lunge (mean difference [95% CI]) 0.54 [0.27–0.82] (Nm/(BW × HT)%), p
