Introducing the Allard Cross Hyperextension Knee Brace

The Allard Cross Hyperextension Knee Brace is intended for mild to moderate knee hyperextension due to neuromuscular diseases or other injuries. The brace can also be used together with Allard AFO's when knee hyperextension is present together with foot drop. Please see below some design features of the Cross brace.

Thin, breathable, lightweight material for user comfort

• Unique construction of the wide upper cuff keeps the orthosis open so foot and leg slide easily into the brace.
• The user can easily grasp the wide cuff and pull the orthosis up and adjust so that the patella opening is properly located over the knee.

Ultra-smooth low friction liner with no visible seams

• Provides a protective "layer" between the outer material and the skin.
• Helps prevent any irritation with the skin.
• It helps the orthosis glide easily over the foot and up over the knee.

The Donning aid makes it possible for:

• Users with limited balance to don the orthosis by themselves while in a seated position.
• Users with hemiplegia or limited hand dexterity to apply with one hand.

How the Donning Aid is used

• The donning aid is easily inserted into an opening in the posterior semi-rigid thigh cuff (location easily identified with a grey binding tape).
• When all straps are released, the orthosis is pulled on with the hyperextension strap facing forward.
• Once the sleeve is pulled over the foot, the smooth fabric liner makes it easy to turn the orthosis and pull it up the leg, until the patella opening is properly located over the knee.
