Orthopedic Brace

An orthopedic brace is a medical device designed to support, stabilize, and protect injured or weak joints, muscles, or bones. These braces help control movement, reduce strain, and allow for proper healing by limiting motion or providing extra support to the affected area. Depending on the injury or condition, braces can be used for various body parts, such as the knee, ankle, wrist, shoulder, or spine.

Here are the key functions of an orthopedic brace:

  1. Immobilization: For injuries like fractures or sprains, a brace may restrict movement to prevent further damage while the injury heals.
  2. Support: Braces provide external support to areas weakened by injury, surgery, or chronic conditions, like arthritis, to help alleviate pain and promote stability.
  3. Compression: Many braces offer compression, which helps reduce swelling and inflammation in soft tissues around the injury.
  4. Pain Relief: By reducing pressure on the injured or weakened area and restricting movement, braces can help alleviate pain and discomfort.
  5. Rehabilitation: After surgery or during recovery from injury, braces assist in rehabilitation by guiding the healing process and helping users regain strength and mobility while avoiding re-injury.

Orthopedic braces are often recommended by healthcare professionals for short-term or long-term use, depending on the patient’s condition. They are commonly used in sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, and to manage chronic conditions like arthritis or scoliosis.

    A Hinged Knee Orthosis is a medical device designed to provide stability, support, and controlled movement to the knee joint. It is commonly used in rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery, injury prevention, and management of knee conditions such as ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, LCL), osteoarthritis, and patellar instability.

    Key Features of a Hinged Knee Orthosis:

    1. Adjustable Range of Motion (ROM):
      • Allows controlled flexion and extension of the knee to aid in gradual recovery.
      • Often has dial locks or stops to set specific degrees of motion restriction.
    2. Stabilization and Support:
      • Reinforces the knee joint, preventing excessive lateral movement.
      • Reduces strain on injured ligaments or post-operative structures.
    3. Hinged Mechanism:
      • Mimics natural knee movement while preventing hyperextension.
      • Can be single-axis or polycentric hinges for improved biomechanics.
    4. Comfortable and Adjustable Fit:
      • Features adjustable straps, cushioned liners, and breathable materials.
      • Designed for long-term wear without discomfort.

    Common Uses of Hinged Knee Orthoses:

    • Post-surgical recovery (e.g., ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair).
    • Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL sprains or tears).
    • Osteoarthritis relief (offloading knee pressure).
    • Sports injury prevention (especially in high-impact sports).
    • Patellar stabilization (for conditions like patellar subluxation).
