摘要:
A knee brace incorporates an upper attachment assembly (12) having an upper cuff (28) with medial and lateral struts (20, 16) extending therefrom and a lower attachment assembly (14) having a lower cuff (30) with lower medial and lateral struts (22, 18) extending therefrom. The upper and lower medial struts are connected proximate a user's knee by a medial hinge assembly (26) and the upper and lower lateral struts are connected proximate the user's knee by a lateral hinge assembly (24). At least one of the struts includes a mechanism dynamically extending the strut with respect to a rotation point of that strut in the associated hinge upon flexion of the upper and lower attachment assemblies between a flexed position and an extended position.
