Title: Reh4Mat Startech 2R AM-KD-AM/2R Knee Orthosis with Dynamic Hyperextension Control

Description:

The Reh4Mat Startech 2R AM-KD-AM/2R knee orthosis provides dynamic hyperextension control without restricting flexion, promoting natural gait. Featuring two anatomically shaped side splints with a dynamic hyperextension prevention system, it allows for sagittal plane knee alignment adjustments in 20-degree increments. An integrated spring mechanism prevents hyperextension and reduces impact forces. Secured with six non-elastic straps (three above and three below the knee joint), its split design ensures easy application.

Indications:

This orthosis is ideal for individuals experiencing:

• Stroke
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neurological disorders
• Paresis
• Knee joint and surrounding tissue injuries
• Genetic disorders (e.g., Ehlers-Danlos syndrome)
• Knee hyperextension

Understanding Knee Hyperextension:

Hyperextension refers to excessive straightening of the knee beyond its normal axis in the sagittal plane. This can result from various conditions and injuries, leading to increased pressure on internal joint structures, overstretching of the posterior cruciate ligament, and ultimately, severe degenerative changes and joint deformity.

Material & Construction:

Crafted from ActivDistance II, a three-layer active material comprised of a highly durable, non-stretchable polyamide Velcro base, comfortable foam padding, and a cotton terry lining. This combination ensures optimal skin climate management and effective sweat wicking.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Open design for easy application
• Six independent, reinforced Velcro straps for secure fastening
• Two anatomical side splints for superior joint stabilization
• Sweat and moisture resistant aluminum splints with protective coating
• Integrated hyperextension block
