?:definition
  • Gait orthoses designed to support and assist the knee joint during normal motion (known as functional braces) in patients with weak anterior cruciate ligaments. These orthoses may consist of prefabricated or custom-made devices, typically including soft cuffs and straps encircling the thigh and leg, respectively, and an adjustable mechanism at the knee joint that may have several locking positions at different knee angles. Ligament functional knee orthoses are intended for long-term use in normal activities by patients with traumatic (e.g., cruciate, lateral, medial) ligament injuries.
