Knee Orthosis With Hinges Orthopedic Knee Bandage

Knee Orthosis With Hinges Orthopedic Knee Bandage Knee joint orthosis with hinges Universal size. An articulated orthosis allows you to completely fix the joint at the initial stage of treatment, with a subsequent increase in the permissible angle of flexion of the leg as recovery progresses. In addition, a knee orthosis prevents twisting of the joint, reduces the load on ligaments and muscles, and reduces pressure on the meniscus. Adjusting the flexion angle A knee brace with stiffeners controls joint instability. The range of motion regulator allows you to immobilize the knee at angles of 10, 20, 30 degrees, as well as gradually increase the range of motion in the knee joint up to 120 degrees. Shoulder strap The orthosis comes with a shoulder strap. The belt will reduce the load on the knee joint during the rehabilitation period and prevent slipping. Breathable and soft bandage The orthopedic orthosis is made of high quality materials: neoprene, plastic and metal. The fabric part is elastic, soft and pleasant to the touch, does not rub the skin. In addition, the product is equipped with removable pads made of moisture-wicking foam material that is comfortable for the body. At the same time, the material of the product is very strong, wear-resistant and durable. *Instructions for use Sit on the edge of a hard, stable chair. Bend your knee at a 45-degree angle and place your foot on the floor. Place your leg into the brace with the straps undone. Place the center of the hinges 2.5 cm above the patella. Slide the hinge back slightly past the middle of the knee. Fasten the anti-migration straps around your legs. The strap should be in full contact with the leg and not protrude beyond the edges of the orthosis. Fasten the upper thigh strap; if the strap is too tight, the brace may slide down. Fasten the lower thigh strap tightly. Fasten the upper front shin strap very tightly, which is important for patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Try to attach splints with hinges to the cuffs so that the hinges are located on the sides of the kneecap and the axis of movement of the hinges coincides with the axis of flexion-extension of the knee joint. The hinges may be located just above the kneecap. If necessary, set the range of motion or change the flexion-extension angle at the hinges (knee joint). When fitting a knee brace, it is recommended to fix the upper part of the orthosis 10 cm below the inguinal fold, and the lower part 10 cm above the ankles. Follow the rule: “Longer orthosis length = longer lever arm = higher efficiency.”
