Adjustable For a Perfect Personalized Fit With this knee immobilizer, not only are there a wide range of sizes available but there are also a number of ways you can adjust the brace to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit. Heavy-duty straps are located directly above and below the open patella, which can be tightened or loosened to provide the correct amount of pressure for your injury or condition. The side hinges can also be adjusted to your liking, so whether you’re in need of moderate or maximum support, you’re able to wear this brace throughout your entire recovery process. Dual-Axis Motion Hinges The range of motion hinges within this sleeve make it the perfect choice for pain prevention and proper healing following an injury or knee surgery. The ROM hinges are on both the left and right sides of the knee, which helps improve stability and allows you to adjust your knee’s range of motion. Having the ability to fully control the motion in your knee will result in a progressive, safe recovery. Whether you’ll need to restrict your knee from bending or straightening will depend on your injury and recovery process, but luckily this ROM brace can adjust to both! Adjustable Hinges for Injury Recovery: When to Use Flexion vs Extension Wondering whether you need flexion or extension for your knee pain, condition, or injury recovery? Flexion will be used to limit how far your knee can bend. So, for example, you could set the flexion to 90 degrees in order to prevent your knee from bending past a 90-degree angle. You’ll want to use flexion for recovery and pain relief after surgery, mild osteoarthritis, and meniscus tears. On the other hand, extension is used to limit how far your knee can straighten. If you adjust the extension to 30 degrees, the brace would restrict your knee from straightening past a 30-degree angle. You can use extension for relief from hyperextension or locking. Keep in mind that every knee injury will require a different recovery process, you should always talk to your doctor first to find the best hinge setting for you!
