Abstract
The effect of applying a newly developed patellar realignment brace to a patient with lateral subluxation of the patella was evaluated using active movement, loaded kinematic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Th e brace corrected the lateral displacement of the patella as shown on the kinematic MR imaging study. The patient underwent physical rehabil itation in conjunction with the use of the patellar realignment brace and has had resolution of her painful symptoms for the past 4 months.
