摘要：
A knee brace incorporates an upper attachment assembly received anteriorly on a thigh of and a lower attachment assembly to be received on a lower leg of a patent. Medial and lateral longitudinal supports are interconnected at medial and lateral hinges. An outer lateral arcuate support plate is attached to a first end of the lateral longitudinal support and an outer medial arcuate support plate is attached to a first end of the medial longitudinal support. Symmetrical lateral adjustment is accomplished with an anterior arcuate support plate and a lateral adjustment ratchet mounted to the anterior support plate. A lateral adjustment strap extends from the lateral arcuate support plate through the lateral adjustment ratchet. A lateral adjustment strap extends from the medial arcuate support plate through the lateral adjustment ratchet and rotation of the lateral adjustment ratchet symmetrically expands or retracts the lateral adjustment straps.
