a Total contact force, b total contact area, and c peak contact pressure induced on the lateral tibial cartilage during one complete gait cycle for unbraced and braced modes. d–f Percentage change in the lateral compartment contact mechanics (total contact force, total contact area, and peak contact pressure) for different braced modes during the main events of the gait cycle (IC, initial contact; OTO, opposite toe off; OIC, opposite initial contact; TO, toe off; FA, feet adjacent; TV, tibia vertical) when compared with the unbraced mode
