Mechanism of action

Protection, pain reduction and restoration of mobility by means of:

• Relief of the medial or lateral joint compartment by means of a 3-point system that supports the joint to correct valgus or varus alignment
• Knee stabilisation by means of the 4-point principle, to counteract knee instability, which often causes osteoarthritis of the knee
• Protection against hyperextension and limitation of movement by means of adjustable physioglide hinges

Characteristics:

• Accurate and effective exertion of pressure near the joint to correct valgus or varus alignment.
• Flexible frame design to avoid torsional forces
• Mouldable thigh and lower leg frame to adjust to individual leg contours
• Polycentric physiological hinges using the principle of 4-chain linkage
• Possibility of limitation of extension at 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°
• Possibility of limitation of flexion at 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°, 60°,75°, 90°
• Possibility of immobilisation at 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°
• Ultra-flat, very light non-contact frame and hinge construction          
• Well designed and easy to use strap guide
• Broad, well padded contact surfaces for the 3-point relief system
• Numbered straps, which make the fitting of the orthosis simple and accurate       
• Air-filled condyle pads to prevent migratition.
• Excellent wearing comfort due to soft-grip padding material
• Fitted liner stocking available on request
