ABSTRACT:
An orthotic knee brace is custom fit to the user's leg without requiring any separate casting steps. The brace includes a thigh cuff which is hinged to a calf cuff. Straps can provide support to at least a portion of the leg. A pad is removably disposed on the interior surface of both the thigh cuff and the calf cuff and contacts the user's leg. The pad is initially pliable when placed around the user's leg and conforms to the leg shape. After a predetermined time the pad cures to maintain the leg shape even after the brace is removed.
