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.

  • After surgery
  • After conservative treatment of capsular ligament injuries

  • In arthrosis and chronic polyarthritis
  • After burns

  • After spinal cord injuries
  • Paralysis (discrete palsy of peripheral origin)
  • After craniocerebral trauma (CCT)
• To prevent new contractures after arthrolysis
• Rupture of a muscle fibre of quadriceps femoris
• Patella tendon rupture
• Extension deficit from weakness of quadriceps
• Conservative and postoperative indications, where active flexion of the knee is contraindicated
