| Popis: | The knee brace described was developed to give a low cost knee brace of sufficient rigidity, quality of fit and comfort to the patient's leg. The brace is custom moulded from thermoplastic material and incorporates a ready-made adjustable knee hinge. It has a colour coordinated covering of beige towelling and securing straps of red Velcro, the latter being attractive to the younger patient who has been the main user. Its main use to date has been application following a Leeds-Keio anterior cruciate ligament implant at the Royal Preston Hospital. The study comprised 30 patients. |
