Key Features Lateral Support System with J-Shaped Buttress: Features a specialized J-shaped or horseshoe-shaped pad that applies gentle pressure to the outer side of the kneecap, helping to center it in the femoral groove and improve tracking. Simple Hinge Mechanism: Incorporates hinges on the sides of the knee to provide controlled knee movement, prevent hyperextension, and add general joint stability without restricting flexion. Condyle Pads for Comfort: Includes soft, often silicone, pads around the knee's bony prominences (condyles) to enhance comfort, distribute pressure, and prevent the brace from slipping down.
