Biomechanical Footwear as a Non-invasive Alternative and Supplement to Total Knee Replacement

"AposHealth is comprised of a unique footwear (Apos device) and uses two convex pods called Pertupods, which are screwed into the plantar surface of the sole so that a person walks on these pods. A trained Apos therapist calibrates the devices. The location of the pods is adjusted according to the treatment methodology, depending on the needed effect on unloading the knee and with the purpose of potentially alleviating pain immediately."

A total knee replacement occurs when a diseased or damaged knee joint is totally replaced with an artificial joint called an implant. The implant consists of high-grade metal and plastic components that fuse to the resurfaced bone. It is designed to move like a healthy human joint.
