ABSTRACT:
A knee orthosis for the protective treatment of ligamentous injuries or deficiencies, or as a supplement to total joint replacement, in which pairs of hinged sidebars are located on opposite sides of a wearer's leg, the orthosis including a system of suspension cuffs that engage the leg above and below the knee to maintain the medial and lateral orthotic joints in proper positions to restrain abnormal knee movements or, in the case of prosthetic joint replacement, prevent movements that do not conform with the prescribed action of the replaced joint. Two such cuffs engage the upper leg, the more distal of the two taking the form of a supracondular cuff adapted to extend about the leg just above the knee and including a semi-rigid medial member of developed shape mounted for limited swivel action.
