Multifunctional Orthosis for Medial Knee Compartment Relief

Indications

• Medial osteoarthritis of the knee

Features

• The special breathable, anatomically designed fabric provides a wide contact surface area with the leg and a perfect fit, ensuring a comfortable and trouble-free use.
• SofTec fabric provides a high level of tensile stability and the highest possible muscle movement.
• The patella proximal and distal pads indicate correct placement of the orthosis.
• Two zippers allow for easy insertion.
• Four non-elastic ties on the upper and lower legs allow for precise adjustment and ensure that the orthosis is protected against rotational forces that occur during movement.
• Anatomically shaped carbon fiber splints are heatable and reshapable.
• The supports are combined with a very effective, flat, duocentric hinge that ensures that the effective load of the entire system is carried to the leg.
• The patient can adjust the valgus pressure according to his/her needs by filling and emptying the air bag at any time.
• Silicone pads are placed between the air bag system and the leg surface.
• Before making any alterations or washing, the functional piece can be easily removed from the fabric pocket of the woven section by opening the Velcro ties.

Mode of Action

• Functional insert and ligament system with tensile-resistant fabric relieves the medial knee compartment according to the 3-point principle.
• Valgus force can be changed by the patient in different ways depending on the symptoms.
• The webbing portion helps activate the muscles and stabilizes the joint through sensorimotor mechanisms.
• Its supportive effect helps reduce soft tissue irritation, edematous swelling and joint effusions.
