Key Features
- Dual ROM Dial Hinges: Each side of the brace is fitted with a precision range-of-motion hinge featuring clearly marked flexion and extension settings, allowing controlled movement progression during rehabilitation.
- Independent Flexion and Extension Stops: The hinge system adjusts from 0° to 120° flexion and 0° to 90° extension, helping limit unsafe bending or hyperextension while your knee heals.
- Open Patella Relief Cutout: The large front kneecap opening reduces direct pressure over the patella and helps keep the joint centered comfortably during walking, standing, and rehab exercises.
- Heat-Therapeutic Neoprene Body: The brace is made from soft neoprene that delivers supportive compression with warming retention, helping the knee feel more secure during daily wear and recovery.
- Four Wide Hook-and-Loop Stabilizing Straps: Two thigh straps and two calf straps wrap securely around the leg for customizable compression and a more anchored fit above and below the knee joint.
- Extended Thigh-to-Calf Coverage: The longer wraparound design stabilizes a larger portion of the leg than a short sleeve brace, making it especially useful for post-op protection and ligament injury management.
- Rigid Side Support Arms: The brace integrates structured lateral supports connected to the ROM hinges to help control side-to-side movement often associated with ACL, MCL, and PCL instability.
- Low-Profile Orthosis Design: Despite its protective structure, the brace has a slimmer profile than many bulky post-op immobilizers, offering a more comfortable option for everyday mobility and gradual return to activity.
Suitable For
- ACL injury recovery and knee stabilization
- MCL sprains and medial knee support
- PCL injury management and controlled motion rehab
- Post-operative knee recovery requiring ROM limitation
- Knee strains, sprains, and joint instability
- Weak or injured knees needing structured support during walking
- Arthritic knees that benefit from compression and hinge-guided motion
- Rehabilitation exercises with controlled flexion and extension
- Occupational activities requiring added knee support
- Sports-related knee injuries, when used with appropriate doctor consultation
Size Guide
Measure the circumference of your leg at two points:
- Thigh: 6″ above the knee joint
- Calf: 4.7″ below the knee joint
| Size | Thigh | Calf |
|---|---|---|
| S | 14″–16.5″ | 11.5″–14″ |
| M | 16.5″–19″ | 14″–17″ |
| L | 19″–21.5″ | 17″–21.2″ |
Sizing Tips:
- Measure both the thigh and calf in the exact locations listed above for the best match with the brace’s longer orthosis design.
- If one measurement falls between sizes, choose the size that best accommodates both the upper and lower leg together for balanced strap positioning.
- The hook-and-loop straps allow fit fine-tuning, but the base size should still match your leg measurements closely.
- A fit that is too loose may reduce hinge alignment and motion-control performance, while a fit that is too tight may cause discomfort during extended wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does the ROM hinge on this knee brace work?
A: The brace uses dual side-mounted range-of-motion hinges with separate flexion and extension settings. This allows you to limit how far the knee bends or straightens during rehabilitation, helping protect the joint while still permitting controlled movement.
Q2: What motion settings can this brace be adjusted to?
A: The hinge system adjusts from 0° to 120° flexion and 0° to 90° extension. This makes it suitable for progressive recovery plans where motion needs to be increased gradually over time.
Q3: Why does this brace have an open patella design?
A: The open patella cutout helps reduce pressure directly on the kneecap while improving comfort at the front of the knee. It also helps with positioning the brace correctly over the joint.
Q4: How many straps does the brace have, and what do they do?
A: This brace features four wide hook-and-loop straps—two around the thigh area and two around the calf area. They help fine-tune compression, improve brace security, and keep the hinge structure positioned more evenly along the leg.
Q5: How do I choose the right size for this brace?
A: Choose your size by measuring the thigh circumference 6 inches above the knee and the calf circumference 4.7 inches below the knee. Then match both measurements to the S, M, or L size chart.
Q6: What if I am between sizes?
A: If your measurements fall between sizes, prioritize the size that gives the best overall match for both the thigh and calf, since this longer brace depends on stable fit above and below the knee for proper hinge alignment.
Q7: Is this brace suitable for ACL, MCL, and PCL injuries?
A: Yes. It is specifically designed for stabilization related to ACL, MCL, and PCL injuries, as well as strains, sprains, instability, weak knees, and post-operative recovery support.
Q8: Should I use this brace instead of medical advice or prescribed treatment?
A: No. This brace is a supportive recovery aid, but ligament injuries, post-op rehabilitation, and arthritic knee conditions should be managed according to the recommendations of your doctor, orthopedic specialist, or physical therapist.












It worked better than I could have hoped.
Hello Robert
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad to hear about your great experience with our product because we are committed to helping you live better Thanks for being an Ober Health Customer. -Melisa- Ober Health
Thank you very much. The braces are awesome comfortable and perfect. I just feel like I should’ve maybe take a size smaller ..it a bit difficult to gauge in all different kind of braces¡ I guess my other braces are a large, but those ones feel a little bit loose. I think maybe a medium would of work better but it’s OK. We already wear them a couple of times so it just work with it¡ just a bit too loose¡
This brace is the perfect alternative to the bigger brace that my orthopedic gave me after I broke my patella! I started wearing the Ober brace at less risky times. It is a bit less robust, but it is much more comfortable and performs the same function. I was able to adjust it to the same range of motion as the big one!
It is great.. best we ever had .Thank u.
