Review on Hinged Knee Brace ROM Post OP Knee Post OP Immobilizer Brace Leg Braces Orthopedic Patella Knee Brace Knee Immobilizer Brace Support Orthosis, Adjustable For Left Leg And Right Leg(D003L) by Dawn Bunger

This brace works better than the one issued by the hospital, but is not as easy to use as we had hoped. Hubby had nerve damage following leg surgery and his knee buckles. When walking (with a walker) his leg needs to be straight. When sitting of course it is more comfortable to be bent. This brace does this but it's quite a process to lock and unlock from various positions. In order to lock and unlock it his leg has to be absolutely straight. So here we are in a restaurant with my kneeling on the floor as we straighten his leg to lock it back in walking position. I had hoped it would be easier to use so he could be more independent and not rely on someone to help him with it. The instructions that come with the brace are worthless. His physical therapist had to play with it to figure it out. Maybe there is a trick we are just unaware of. I expect we will eventually replace it with something better. It does it's job, but is not as easy to use as we had hoped.
