Off-the-Shelf Functional Knee Brace

Dynamic Action | Ordering Info | Accessories

The NEW Dynamic, Muscle-Powered AXIOM-D OTS places increasing posterior force against the tibia as the knee moves into extension. This unique force prevents subluxation and supports natural quadricep and hamstring activity. It reduces the symptoms of ACL deficiency... Security is restored. For PCL deficiency, the AXIOM-D can place anterior force against the calf as the knee is flexed to reduce symptoms. The AXIOM-D OTS and AXIOM OTS are both available in custom versions.

Features include:

  • Improved Protection...Off-the-Shelf: Tough new alloy composite shell will not deform from impact. Will not crack like carbon fiber. Weighs less too.
  • Anti-migration design uses pivoting posterior calf strap plus a gastroc gripper pad to "lock" onto calf muscles.
  • No-catch hinge design prevents the hinge from snagging objects or digging into the ground during aggressive sports play.
  • The unique Ratchet Release closure (pat. pend.) extends strap life. Hinges can be disassembled for easy cleaning and maintenance.
  • All parts can be replaced by the patient using the tools provided.
  • New soft, velour-like padding for comfortable continuous wear.
  • Available with optional Hi-Activity shell pads for sport play.
