I am doing a study on outcomes (patient compliance, satisfaction, etc.) of
custom made or custom fitted knee bracing. The study must include over 500
patients who have worn their brace for at least six months or more. Make
and model of brace do not matter but will be a criteria in the final paper.
Diagnosis for this study are OA or ACL .
The study will consist of a patient questionnaire. Copies of charts with
Dr’s original diagnosis & your eval sheets and any follow-up notes are
required. Patient must sign a consent form to be included in the study.
The study is expected to take two years to complete.
If you wish to participate, please contact me, Charles Barocas, CO, at
[email protected] The more CO’s that participate the more valid the
study.
There is no financial support from any brace manufacturer for this study. (I
wish there was.)
Charles Barocas, CO
