Abstract
A brace for supporting a biomechanical joint includes first and second surface regions disposed relatively distal to the joint on a first side of a limb and a third surface region disposed substantially adjacent to the joint on a second side of the limb so that by applying forces between the surface regions, a portion of the joint is cantilevered and pressure is relieved from a cartilage surface region within the joint.
