ERH 52/2 AntiHyperExtension knee brace, RehaNEURO series

• Corrects the position of the knee joint in the sagittal plane.
• Prevents hyperextension of the knee joint. Preventing the lower leg from escaping backwards.
• Provides stabilization and correction of the knee joint position.

The corrective action of the orthosis is based on the 3-point principle

• Changing the length of the knee pad increases the corrective effect.
• Shortening the length of the popliteal pad increases the strength at point 1, thus correcting the hyperextension of the knee joint
• It is recommended to correct joint hyperextension only by adjusting the popliteal pad. It is not recommended to additionally limit the range of motion in the lateral joint joints.

In the case of very large, long-term hyperextensions of the joint or patients with pain in the front of the shin. It is recommended to use the extended version of the LONG orthosis with a foot attachment.

• The LONG version also takes into account the foot support, thus increasing the surface area for the distribution of corrective forces and reducing the pressure of the adjustment straps on the front of the orthosis.
• The use of the LONG version requires the use of less force to correct hyperextension and reduces the risk of bruises and pressure on the front of the shin.
• The LONG version with a foot attachment allows the use of a movable ankle joint limiting plantar flexion of the foot.  Protecting it from falling.
• The additional foot frame can be easily removed.

• Orthosis with a rigid two-rail structure
• Changing the length of the pad in the popliteal fossa has a corrective effect on the knee joint.
• The corrective pad should be located just below the popliteal fossa in the back of the lower leg, so as not to limit the flexion of the joint.
• Fix all tightening straps so that the joint joints are centrally at the height of the knee joint.
• Make sure that the side splints of the orthosis are in the lateral line of the limb. If, when using the orthosis, the ends of the splint (the distal parts of the orthosis) move too much backwards. You should consider using the LONG version to balance the stress on the shin and optimize the corrective force of the pad.
• In the LONG version, the foot part can be easily dismantled.
