A knee brace assembly includes a first brace assembly configured to be secured to a first leg portion of a leg relative to a knee and a second brace assembly configured to be secured to a second leg portion of the leg relative to the knee, the second leg portion opposing the first leg portion. The knee brace assembly includes a hinge disposed between the first brace assembly and the second brace assembly, the hinge having a plurality of strap elements each strap element defining a planar surface. The planar surfaces of the plurality of strap elements are disposed substantially parallel to each other along an anterior-posterior orientation of the first leg portion and the second leg portion.
