ABSTRACT:
A knee brace utilizing first and second brace members and first and second elements which are interlinked to one another. The first and second brace members are adapted for attachment to the femoral and tibial regions of the leg. The first and second brace members each include a first and second second portion. The first element pivotally connects to the first brace member at a first pivot and to the second brace member at a second pivot. The second brace member also pivotally connects to the second element at a third pivot. The second element pivotally connects to the first brace member at a fourth pivot. The first and second elements may sandwich or bracket the first and second brace members, which are generally positioned in a coplanar relationship. Position of the first brace member relative to the second brace member permits selected translation between these brace members.
