Many suffers of knee OA have excessive soft tissue as a result of being either overweight, elderly, or both. The UnloaderŽADJ was designed with their particular needs in mind. Based on the same principles as the UnloaderŽSelect, the UnloaderŽADJ has more flexible shells and wider elastic straps to contain excess tissue.
