DonJoy FullForce Knee Support Brace Instruction Manual

Продукт болееview

The DonJoy FullForce Knee Support Brace is designed to provide comprehensive Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) protection. It is an exceptionally lightweight brace, suitable for athletes participating in court or non-contact sports, those with mild to moderate ligament instabilities, or individuals recovering from ligament reconstruction. The brace incorporates DonJoy's 4-Points-of-Leverage System and patented FourcePoint hinge technology to offer powerful and clinically proven support for the ACL.

Its sleek, low-profile, and lightweight design makes it a preferred choice for users who require robust knee support without sacrificing agility or comfort. The FourcePoint hinge technology specifically reduces the time the knee spends in an "at-risk position" and enhances the 4-Points-of-Leverage by increasing the posterior load on the tibia, improving natural gait by applying progressive resistance during movement.

Компоненты

The DonJoy FullForce Knee Support Brace consists of several key components designed for optimal support and fit:

• Рама из авиационного алюминия: Provides a strong yet lightweight structure.
• 4-Points-of-Leverage System: A patented design that applies opposing forces to the thigh and calf to prevent anterior tibial translation.
• FourcePoint Hinge Technology: Offers progressive resistance during knee extension to reduce hyperextension and protect the ACL.

Размеры и посадка

Accurate measurement is essential for proper fit and effectiveness of the DonJoy FullForce Knee Support Brace. Please follow these instructions carefully:

1. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart, slightly bent, and leg muscles contracted.
2. Measure up six inches from the center of your kneecap with a flexible tape measure.
3. Measure the circumference of your thigh at this 6-inch mark.
4. Measure down six inches from the center of your kneecap.
5. Measure the circumference of your calf at this 6-inch mark.

Use these measurements to determine your brace size from the chart below. If your measurements fall between sizes, it is recommended to choose the next size up for optimal comfort and fit.
