ABSTRACT:
The application is directed to a knee orthosis having a proximal cuff, (2), engageable with the wearer's leg above the knee, a distal cuff, (4), engageable with the wearer's leg below the knee, and a pair of polycentric hinges, (6), joining the cuffs. Both of the hinges are offset in a medial direction relative to the wearer's leg to prevent pressure on the fibula head. Stop means, (110 and 112), limit the pivotal motion of both the hinges relative to the cuffs to approximately 180.degree. measured in the anterior direction to prevent the wearer's knee from canting rearwardly.
