Adjustable knee brace designed to stabilise the joint and control movement during recovery
This hinged knee brace supports a weak or unstable knee. It guides the joint during walking and limits unwanted movement. It may be used after an injury, surgery or during rehabilitation.
The hinged knee brace helps stabilise the knee during movement. It supports the joint without completely blocking flexion and extension.
The side hinges guide the knee while walking. As a result, they help limit movements that may cause pain or instability.
The frame supports the leg and distributes pressure around the joint. In addition, adjustable straps keep the brace securely in place.
A healthcare professional can limit knee flexion or extension when required. Therefore, the brace can be adapted to each stage of recovery.
The structure can also be adjusted to the shape of the leg. However, the hinges must remain correctly aligned with the knee joint.
This hinged knee brace may be used after a ligament or meniscus injury. It can also support conservative treatment or post-operative recovery.

The correct hinged knee brace depends on the injury and the affected side. The shape of the leg and the permitted range of motion are also important.
The hinges must align with the knee joint. The straps should provide stable support without causing pain, excessive pressure or numbness.
