Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2721924
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A brace (10) for supporting a knee joint is disclosed specifically adapted for use in atheletic, i.e. sports, applications. The brace is formed by a pair of frame members (12, 14) disposed on opposite sides of the knee joint which are pivotally connected adjacent one end by way of ratio-swing hinge members (16). Each of the frame members are pivotally connected via a flapper hinge (32) adjacent their opposite end to a support cuff/pad (60, 62) adapted to be affixed to the user's leg adjacent the tibia and femur, respectively. The lateral position of the flapper hinges may be adjusted to accommodate for bowlegged or knock-kneed conditions of the user. Means (80) are additionally provided between the tibia cuff and its respective frame member to allow plane adjustment between the tibia and femur of the user. The femur frame member is formed to include a convex-shaped portion specifically sized to extend over the attachment point of the vastas medialas muscle and thereby readily accommodate differing users.
