Mackie Knee Brace

The Mackie Knee Brace uses a unique infinitely adjustable hinge mounted on a rigid, non-contact frame. This design offers simplicity of function, strong construction, and superior patient comfort. The Mackie hinge mechanism is engineered to allow for smooth and infinite positional settings. The hinge's adjustability allows the patient to control how much force is applied to achieve the best result. The Mackie Hinge Knee Brace is bi-directional, meaning it has the ability to be used in both flexion and extension. This can avoid the added expense of a second brace because many patients require stretch in both directions.

The Mackie Knee Brace is designed to stretch soft tissue contractures and is usually prescribed following surgery to assist the patient in achieving maximum range of motion. Static progressive orthoses are typically worn 3-4 times per day for 30-60 minutes at a time to gain the benefits of the low-load force application.

Mechanism of Action - Static Progressive Splint (SPS): Used to restore lost range of motion in contracted joints

• Soft tissues respond as a viscoelastic material
• As the tissues are stretched and then held at a constant length, the stress and tendency to rebound (shorten) gradually declines
• This decline is called stress relaxation
• SPS stretches soft tissues using a series of incremental changes over time
• The response from the tissues is to elongate, allowing for greater range of motion in the joint

Features:

• Bi-directional infinite angle settings in fractional increments, allows for use in both flexion and extension
• Reduces the chance of soft tissue micro-tears and the inflammation they cause
• Increases range of motion in flexion and extension 
• Lightweight and easy to use
• Low profile fit
• Three prefabricated sizes for greater patient comfort
• Goniometer label to measure angle is available
• Includes soft, padded inserts for additional comfort
• One year manufacturer's warranty
