What aids can you use for osteoarthritis?

There are various aids that can make daily activities easier for osteoarthritis patients. A cane, elbow crutch, walker, rollator, and braces are some examples. Sometimes, customized shoes or orthotic insoles can be helpful as they may improve joint alignment. In this blog, we’ll explain what osteoarthritis is and delve into the available aids!

What is osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a rheumatic condition affecting the joints. These can include any joints in the human body, such as elbow arthritis, knee osteoarthritis, and hip osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis often begins with inflammation in the cartilage, which subsequently leads to cartilage breakdown. This can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling around the joint. In some cases, the body may attempt to compensate for deteriorating cartilage function by forming bone spurs, also known as osteophytes. This too can result in pain and stiffness.

Knee brace for knee osteoarthritis

Knee braces can be used for various knee problems, including osteoarthritis in the knee. With a brace, pain and symptoms due to knee osteoarthritis can be significantly reduced. The brace will provide patients with a sense of stability, allowing them to move more freely. Since movement is beneficial for osteoarthritis, this ultimately leads to reduced symptoms and improved joint flexibility.

Ankle brace for ankle osteoarthritis

An ankle brace may offer relief for ankle osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis in this joint usually develops due to trauma, such as an ankle fracture. An ankle brace also provides stability, which can give osteoarthritis patients the confidence to move more. Additionally, using an ankle brace can help improve stiffness, alleviate other pain symptoms, and enhance physical functioning.

Hand and thumb osteoarthritis

In the hand, joints are often affected by osteoarthritis, characterized by deteriorating cartilage. Hand osteoarthritis is a form of rheumatic condition that can manifest throughout the body. A thumb brace or wrist splint can provide relief.

Wrist splint for wrist osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis in the wrist is a form of rheumatic condition that affects the musculoskeletal system. It can manifest independently or arise due to joint inflammation or weak ligaments. It is characterized by deteriorating cartilage in the wrist joints, resulting in pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Abdominal and lumbar supports for lumbar osteoarthritis

In lumbar osteoarthritis, also known as osteoarthritis in the back, there is deterioration of cartilage in the intervertebral discs of the spine. Lumbar osteoarthritis is a chronic condition that worsens gradually, with increasing wear and tear leading to worsening symptoms over time. This condition is also referred to as spondylosis.

    Please always follow our return guidelines and return conditions when sending items back.

How should I package my product to return it? +

Use sturdy packaging, preferably the original shipping box in which you received your order. This minimizes the risk of damage and allows us to make someone else happy with the product. After it has been returned, the item must still be suitable to be offered as a new product.

Never use the product’s own packaging as the shipping box! If the product packaging becomes damaged, replacement costs may be charged.

What are the return conditions for returning a product? +

Return Conditions

  1. If reasonably possible, the product must be returned in its original condition and undamaged, in the most original and undamaged product packaging.
  2. It must be reasonably possible to resell your returned item without any additional handling.
  3. The product packaging may never be used as the shipping box. There must always be an extra outer shipping box around the product to prevent damage to the product and/or its packaging. You can use the shipping box we originally used to send the product to you.

How can I exchange my product for another product or size? +

Would you like to exchange the product for another size or a different product?
You can easily use our exchange service. Please follow the steps below:

  1. Go to our returns portal and indicate which product you would like to exchange.
  2. Next, select the size or the alternative product you would like to receive in exchange for your current product. For this step you will need your order number (including the letters ORD..) and your postal code. You can find these details on the packing slip.
  3. After you have indicated which product you would like to exchange and what you would like to receive in return, you can choose a return label from a carrier at a reduced rate.

Once you have purchased the return label, you will receive it by e-mail.

  • If you selected a printable return label, please print the label and attach it to the outside of the shipping box.
  • If you selected a non-printable return label, you do not need to print anything. Simply take your parcel to a parcel shop and have the QR code or barcode from the document in the e-mail scanned. The employee at the parcel shop will print the label for you and attach it to the box.

Important: always keep the drop-off receipt until your return has been fully processed. This serves as proof that you handed over the parcel.

Once we have received your return, we will process it as soon as possible (within a maximum of 5 working days). After processing your return, you will receive a new order confirmation containing the product you exchanged your original item for.

For the first exchange, no additional shipping costs will be charged. This order confirmation also confirms that your return has been successfully processed.

As soon as you receive this confirmation and the product is in stock (if a product is not in stock, it will be indicated with the word “backorder” on the product page), your order will be collected by the carrier the same day at 17:00 (5 PM).
