The Donjoy Reddie Hinged Knee Brace is a wraparound knee support with bilateral hinges. These geared hinges offer a lot of weight distribution, and allows those with knee pain to spend more time on their feet than they normally would.
The hinges placed on each side of the brace offer very high level of support, it assists the bending of the knee and prevents twisting, protecting the knee ligaments and the joint.
The knee brace is held securely with straps making it ideal for people with mobility issues (esp. for the older patient), or pain that makes it difficult to pull a knee brace up the leg and over the knee.
It also offers support to the patella. When the knee brace is worn, the material wraps around the thigh and the calf, and around the knee cap, but leaves a gap around the patella itself. This means the neoprene material of the knee brace give slight pressure around the area and would prevent the kneecap from freely moving, if the user suffers from this.
As a wraparound knee support it is designed to be fitted quickly and easily, it is a perfect support for those who wish to take the knee brace off and on throughout the day. The majority of knee supports and knee braces are pull on designs, meaning shoes need to be removed in order to get them on. Though as this is a wrap around design, it can be put on very simply and easily, and then secured with the long straps Velcro straps.
