Adjustable Range of Motion
An adjustable stop allows you to set the range of motion to tailor towards specific requirements for your condition. Decrease the range of motion for newer injuries that need extra compression to promote fast healing.
Once your knee joint is strong enough, you can simply increase the range of motion to give yourself more flexibility during day-to-day use.
How Comfortable is the Osteoarthritis Knee Brace?
Pads made with comfortable, non-slip materials make the Aspen Knee Brace incredibly comfy to wear. They also assist with keeping it securely in place.
Using moisture wicking fabrics, the brace prevents moisture build-up to improve comfort and reduce odour.
Two-Point Hinge Adjustment
Using the supplied adjustment tool, you can adjust the screws on the stopper to help evenly distribute pressure throughout the leg. This improves comfort and allows you to adjust the compression to match your own individual requirements.
One-Step Closure
Featuring a one-step closure system, the PROA+ knee brace is fastened using buttons for each of the four straps. This simple design makes for easy donning and doffing of the leg brace, which improves patient acceptance and compliance.
