Gait correcting, leg strengthening Rehabilitator™ therapy to reverse extension deficits in gait; flexion contracture of the knee of 10 degrees or more. Strategically placed pneumatic air bladders at the thigh and calf when inflated correct knee subluxation normally found in knee flexion contractures of 10 degrees or more. Air bladders at the knee joint when inflated provide gentle knee joint compression and effectively provide medial, lateral, and rotational control of the knee. The combined knee joint realignment provided by the thigh and calf air bladders with the gentle compression provided by the knee air bladders allows the active swing assist of the brace to provide the optimal therapeutic “glide” stretch each time the patient extends the leg during gait. In three hours of active wear, the average patient receives 3,000 active extension stretches while wearing the brace. Patients who wear the brace 3 hours or more a day average 10 degrees of improved extension a month.

Sport EXT Rehabilitator™ active swing assist therapy is the ONLY extension deficit / knee flexion contracture therapy that simultaneously lengthens the flexors while strengthening the quadriceps muscles. The improved extension while walking in the brace increases quadriceps activation, strengthening the weakened quadriceps as the patient simply walks in the brace.
