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°.

Features

• Therapy in extension
• Individual adjustment of the spring tension
• 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
• Easy handling and high wearing comfort

Indications

-Joint contractures:

• After surgery
• After conservative treatment of capsular ligament injuries
• Before and after joint replacement
• In arthrosis and chronic polyarthritis
• After burns
• After strokes
• 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
