Orthopedic Braces and Support Market Trends

Technological advancements in orthopedic braces and support have played a pivotal role in shaping their evolution and widespread adoption in the market.

Advanced technologies allow for the customization and personalization of orthopedic braces to meet the specific needs of individual patients. 3D scanning, computer-aided design (CAD), and additive manufacturing enable the creation of braces that conform precisely to a patient's anatomy, improving comfort and efficacy.
Moreover, advanced biomechanical studies and computational modeling contribute to the design of orthopedic braces that mimic natural joint movements. This biomechanical optimization enhances the functionality of braces, providing support while allowing for a more natural range of motion.
For instance, in January 2024, Enovis‘ DJO announced the launch of its DonJoy Roam OA knee brace for osteoarthritis or other knee pain and instability. Roam OA incorporate unloader technology that unloads the pressure of unicompartmental osteoarthritis and shifts weight away from the affected knee to relieve pain, improve stability, and help improve mobility dynamically.
Furthermore, the integration of smart technologies into orthopedic braces has transformed the market. Smart braces may include sensors, accelerometers, and other electronic components to monitor biomechanics, track patient movement, and provide real-time data. This data can be valuable for healthcare professionals in assessing patient progress and optimizing treatment plans.
