  • Patella tendon rupture
  • Extension deficit from weakness of quadriceps
  • Conservative and postoperative indications, where active flexion of the knee is contraindicated

Features

  • Individual adjustment of the spring tension
  • Spring tension can be switched on and off without tools and without varying the set spring tension
  • Variable adjustment of the correction range in extension
  • Individual adjustment of shells in position and shape
  • High wearing comfort due to air-permeable, light-weight aluminium shells

Mode of operation

The CDS® Knee Brace Extension can be used to treat an extension deficit of the knee.
The dynamic stretch stimulates the healthy growth of the shortened tissue.
The continuously adjustable correction range prevents harmful over stretching.
