Paediatric CDS® Knee Brace Extension

Overview

The CDS® Knee Brace Extension functions according to the CDS® principle and has been designed to treat an extension deficit of the knee. The knee contracture brace applies a dynamic low load prolonged stretch to stimulate growth in the contracted tissue. The adjustable redression range protects the tissues from painful overstretching and allows for individual extension until -15°.

• Spring tension can be switched on and off without tools and without varying the set spring tension
• Infinitely variable adjustment of the redression range in extension between -15° and +30°
• Individual adjustment of shells and straps
