The hinges help provide lateral stability and can assist in controlling unwanted side-to-side movement while the knee is in motion. MATERIAL & CONSTRUCTION The knee support is made from a combination of PU Foam, Nylon, Polyester, and Plastic, selected to provide durability, cushioning, flexibility, and structural support.

Polyester: Contributes to a durable and comfortable outer construction. Plastic: Provides structural reinforcement and supports the hinged design. COMFORTABLE SUPPORT DURING DAILY ACTIVITIES The UM Orthotics Knee Hinge Support is designed to provide additional stability without unnecessarily restricting normal knee movement. It can be useful during walking, standing, routine activities, and prescribed rehabilitation exercises. For sports use, it can provide additional external support where appropriate, while allowing the knee to move through a functional range. SUPPORT DURING RECOVERY Following a knee injury, the joint may require additional external stabilization while recovering. The hinged design provides controlled support around the knee and helps manage unwanted movement during permitted activities. For significant ligament injuries, meniscal injuries, or persistent knee instability, the appropriate brace type, fitting, and duration of use should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional.
