ACL Technology
We study body mechanics end listen to athletes. We consult physicians and push the envelope of technologial innovation.
Our braces combine the most advanced technology, strongest materials and highest craftsmanship. Of course, all of our knee ligament braces are for excellent medial support to aid MCL end LCL indications.
Fource Point Hinge
FourcePoint hinge increases flexion angles, reducing anterior shear forces and strain on the ACL and thus significantly decreasing the chance of injury.
- Helps keep both knees out of rhe at risk position
- NO significant performance limitations
- Improves joint mechanics of both knees post ACL surgery
4-Points-of-Leverage
Helps decrease ACL strain at least by 50%
Significantly reduces tibial rotation vs unbraced and sleeved groups
Increases patient confidence after ACL reconstruction
OA Technology
We mechanically shift weight away From the damaged part of the knee to help address four common relief Points for those suffering from OA.
Every DonJoy® OA knee brace can off-load either the medial or lateral compartment and incorporate load adjustment mechanisms that allow patients to fine tune their brace to meet their daily needs.
Pain
Pain caused from OA of the knee can create barriers to motion both psychological and physical. Addressing immediate pain issues is essential to getting active.
Allignment
If the body’s alignment is not correct, it can create wear on joints that can cause pain. Incorrect alignment can be natural, can come from an injury or can be the result of the body compensating for pain.
Strength
As knee pain increases, the body compensates to avoid the pain. Quadriceps stop firing and more pressure is put on joints exacerbating the situation. Maintaining strength in key muscle groups is critical to reversing the path of degeneration and getting back in motion.
Instability
Instability can be real, whether from injury or from OA, and it can also be perceived, as when sharp pain creates the impression of instability. Real or perceived, instability can be a barrier to motion.
Your clinician or a Donjoy representative will measure your knee using a Donjoy measuring device. These measurements are sent to the USA where yourcustom brace is manufactured and sent back to your address in 2-3 weeks!
