Orthotics and aids for knee arthritis

The disability of knee arthritis can be lessened by devices that:

• soften impact on the joint - sorbo-rubber heels in shoes, trainers with spongy soles
• offer support - stair rails, bath rails, shower bars, walking canes
• help with dressing - stocking pullers, long shoe horns
• getting out of armchairs - uplift seat
• going upstairs - stair lifts
• doing chores - reachers
• sleeping - knee pillow
