DonJoy FullForce Knee Support Brace Instruction Manual

Прадукт скончаныview

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.
