Can you use an Unloader Knee brace with widespread arthritis?

Modern unloader knee braces decrease the workload of the worn half of the knee by shifting the body weight to the other side.

If both sides of the knee are worn there is no "good" side and any unloading of one side is likely to aggravate the other.

In this case a basic knee support is a better idea (and cheaper) than an Unloader Knee Brace
