Adjustable ROM Knee Brace | جبيرة تحديد حركة الركبة

The Adjustable ROM Knee Brace is an advanced orthopedic device featuring adjustable angle joints on its sides, allowing for the desired degree of flexion/extension control of the knee. This brace provides excellent support following ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) operations, as well as in various situations requiring controlled movement and robust protection of the knee joint.

How to Use:
To apply the Adjustable ROM Knee Brace, ensure the knee is positioned comfortably and aligned with the brace’s hinges. The brace typically consists of rigid uprights with hinges on both sides, and multiple straps that secure it around the thigh and calf. The adjustable angle joints (often goniometers with pin stops) are set by a healthcare professional to allow a specific range of motion, or to lock the knee at a desired angle. Once the desired range of motion is set, the brace is secured firmly with the hook-and-loop straps around the thigh and calf to prevent slippage and ensure stable support. The fit should be snug to provide effective control but comfortable for prolonged wear.

Why to Use:
The Adjustable ROM Knee Brace offers dynamic and customizable support for complex knee conditions:

• Adjustable Angle Joints: The key feature is the presence of adjustable hinges on both sides, allowing healthcare professionals to precisely set and control the allowed range of flexion and extension of the knee joint. This is vital for progressive rehabilitation.
• Post-ACL and PCL Operations: Provides excellent and critical support following reconstructive surgeries of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL). It protects the healing graft by preventing excessive stress or undesired movements.
• Controlled Movement and Protection: Ideal for situations where controlled movement is necessary to prevent re-injury or promote specific healing, while also offering robust external protection to the knee joint.
• Pain Reduction: By stabilizing the knee and controlling its movement, it significantly reduces pain and discomfort, particularly during weight-bearing activities or accidental movements.
• Aids Healing Process: Ensures that the knee is protected from harmful stresses, allowing ligaments, tendons, and bones to heal in an optimal environment.
• Progressive Rehabilitation: The adjustable hinges allow for a gradual increase in the range of motion as the patient progresses through their rehabilitation program, guiding controlled recovery.
• Prevents Hyperextension/Hyperflexion: Can be set to prevent hyperextension or excessive flexion, protecting the knee from injurious movements.

Recommended for: Patients recovering from ACL or PCL reconstruction, individuals with unstable knee ligaments, severe knee sprains, patellar dislocations, meniscal repairs, or other knee injuries requiring controlled range of motion and significant external support.

Key Factors:

Adjustable Angle Joints: Features bilateral goniometer hinges that can be set for specific flexion and extension limits.

• Post-Ligament Operations: Specifically provides excellent support after ACL and PCL surgeries.
• Controlled Movement: Offers precise control over the knee’s range of motion.
• Rigid Uprights: Incorporates rigid, often lightweight aluminum or plastic, uprights on the medial (inner) and lateral (outer) sides of the leg for stable support.
• Multiple Straps: Equipped with several adjustable hook-and-loop straps to ensure a secure and non-slip fit around the thigh and calf.
• Comfortable Padding: Lined with soft, breathable padding to ensure patient comfort during prolonged wear.
• Anatomical Design: Designed to conform to the leg’s contours for effective and comfortable support.
• Made in Turkey

How to Care:
To maintain the effectiveness and hygiene of your Adjustable ROM Knee Brace, first remove any rigid stays or clean the brace with the stays in place as per manufacturer instructions. Gently wipe down the rigid components (hinges, uprights) with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure all metal parts are completely dry to prevent rust. The fabric portions and padding are often removable and can be hand washed in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach, harsh chemical cleaners, or fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely on a flat surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron. Periodically inspect the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure they are functioning correctly and securely.

Material:
The Adjustable ROM Knee Brace is typically constructed from a combination of robust, lightweight, and comfortable materials:

• Rigid Uprights: Made from high-strength aluminum alloy  to provide structural integrity and support.
• Adjustable Hinges: Precision-engineered goniometer hinges made from durable metal with locking mechanisms and range-of-motion stops.
• Fabric Sleeves/Pads: The main body of the brace and the strapping system made from a breathable and comfortable fabric lined with soft padding for skin protection and comfort.
• Hook-and-Loop Fasteners: Multiple durable hook-and-loop closure systems (e.g., Velcro) are used for secure and adjustable fastening around the thigh and calf.
• Anti-Slip Elements: Silicone strips incorporated on the inside to prevent slippage during wear.
