The Ortino Swedish Knee Hyperextension Brace is built with advanced design elements to combine comfort, durability, and precise motion control:
Bilateral Hinges with Extension Stop: Dual-side polycentric hinges allow natural knee flexion while limiting hyperextension through a mechanical stop, keeping movement within a safe range.
Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Frame: Crafted from 6061 aluminum, this brace offers high strength with minimal weight, ensuring long-term comfort and excellent resistance to wear and corrosion.
Premium Velcro Straps: High-quality hook-and-loop straps ensure a secure fit and allow patients to adjust compression easily for maximum comfort and stability throughout the day.
Breathable Polyurethane Padding: Soft, skin-friendly PU pads distribute pressure evenly, prevent skin irritation, and provide comfort even during extended wear.
Optimal Control During Daily Activities: By preventing backward knee collapse, the brace improves patient confidence while walking, standing, or climbing stairs, enhancing overall quality of life.
The Ortino Swedish Knee Brace for Hyperextension is designed to support individuals dealing with genu recurvatum (knee hyperextension) – a condition where the knee joint extends excessively backward. This brace is particularly recommended for:
Cerebral Palsy (CP): Especially for children with spastic diplegia who present with a locked-knee gait pattern. The brace helps promote a safer, more natural walking pattern and prevents permanent joint deformities.
Post-Stroke Rehabilitation: Patients suffering from hemiparesis or weakness following a stroke can benefit from improved knee stability, reducing the risk of backward knee collapse when weight-bearing.
Neuromuscular Disorders: Ideal for patients with conditions such as myopathy, peripheral neuropathy, multiple sclerosis (MS), or other disorders that impair quadriceps control. The brace prevents knee buckling and ensures safer mobility.
Ligamentous Instability or Quadriceps Weakness: When hyperextension stresses the knee joint, leading to pain, instability, or risk of early osteoarthritis, the brace helps redistribute forces and protect joint structures.
