Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease and as a result is widespread and not focused on just one area of the body. Each joint that is affected also has widespread arthritis so unlike unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis, there is no "good" half of the knee to unload onto.
For this reason, Unloader Knee Braces should not be used by those suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis.
A basic knee support may be of help in these cases.
