Description

A leg immobilizer, commonly referred to as a knee immobilizer, is an orthotic support designed to maintain the knee in full extension and limit joint motion. By restricting knee flexion, it provides stabilization to injured soft tissues and osseous structures, thereby promoting optimal healing conditions. Leg immobilizers are typically constructed from lightweight yet rigid materials, such as padded foam combined with aluminum stays, to ensure effective immobilization while maintaining patient comfort.

Key Features

• Anatomically contoured posterior and mediolateral bars offer complete immobilization.
• Patellar opening releases patellar pressure ensuring patient comfort.
• An elastic patellar strap holds the patella in position and ensures immobilization of the knee joint.
• Opposing hook and loop straps for secure fitting.

Indications

• Post-injury / post-surgical conditions (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL injuries).
