A Neoprene Hinged Knee Brace is a heavy-duty orthopedic support designed to stabilize the knee joint after significant ligament injuries (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL) or surgery. In 2026, these braces continue to be a standard for rehabilitation, combining the therapeutic benefits of neoprene with the mechanical stability of dual-axis hinges.
Key Features
- Dual Bilateral Hinges: Features aluminum or metal side stabilizers that mimic the knee’s natural motion while preventing risky side-to-side (medial/lateral) instability and hyperextension.
- Neoprene Construction: High-grade, breathable neoprene provides thermal compression, which retains body heat to improve blood circulation and promote faster healing of tendons and muscles.
- Open Patella Design: A ring-shaped opening with a reinforced stabilizer (often a gel or foam buttress) reduces pressure on the kneecap and ensures proper patellar tracking.
- Adjustable Compression: Includes wrap-around Velcro straps (often numbered for correct sequencing) that allow users to customize the level of support and ensure the brace stays in place during movement.
- Range of Motion (ROM) Control: Some advanced models include “plug-in” stops to limit flexion and extension at specific degrees (e.g., 0°, 30°, 45°), crucial for post-surgical recovery
