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 prevents hyperextension while allowing for natural flexion, supporting proper gait. Featuring two anatomically shaped side splints with a dynamic hyperextension control system, it provides sagittal plane knee alignment with adjustable settings in 20-degree increments. An integrated spring mechanism prevents hyperextension and reduces impact forces. Secured with six inelastic straps (three above and three below the knee joint), its split design ensures easy application.

Ideal for individuals experiencing:

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

Hyperextension (overextension) of the knee refers to excessive straightening of the knee joint beyond its normal axis. This can result from various conditions and injuries, leading to increased pressure on internal joint structures, excessive stretching of the posterior cruciate ligament, and ultimately, severe degenerative changes and joint deformation.

Constructed from ActivDistance II material: This active three-layer material comprises a robust, non-stretching polyamide Velcro base, comfortable foam padding, and a cotton terry lining to maintain optimal skin microclimate and effectively wick away sweat.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Open design for easy application
• Six independent, adjustable Velcro straps for secure support
• Two anatomical side splints for superior joint stabilization
• Aluminum splints with a protective coating, resistant to sweat and moisture
• Integrated hyperextension blocking mechanism
