for hyper ext patients

A Hypex brace is an orthotic device used for patients with knee hyperextension (genu recurvatum). It is designed to control excessive backward movement of the knee during standing and walking. The brace works by providing external support and mechanical resistance that limits hyperextension while still allowing controlled knee flexion needed for normal gait. The Hypex brace helps improve knee stability, posture, and walking efficiency, especially in patients with muscle weakness, ligament laxity, or neurological conditions. By preventing abnormal knee locking, it reduces stress on the joint, minimizes pain, and lowers the risk of long-term joint damage. The brace is typically lightweight, adjustable, and customized to ensure comfort and proper alignment for daily use.
