Therapeutic knee orthoses designed to provide dynamic flexion and/or extension motion for a period of time. These orthoses may consist of prefabricated or custom-made devices, typically including semi-rigid stays and straps encircling the thigh and leg, respectively, and an adjustable pivoting mechanism at the knee joint. Dynamic therapy flexion/extension knee orthoses are intended to increase the range of motion and to improve the function and stability of the knee joint and they are mainly used after knee replacement surgery.
