Abstract

La présente invention concerne une attelle de genou fonctionnelle. Selon la présente invention, l'attelle de genou soulage l'articulation du genou dans la direction opposée à celle où la jambe est tendue de manière à ramener l'articulation pliée dans sa position d'origine et à réduire le degré de douleur. L'attelle de genou peut être portée par des patients qui souffrent d'une gêne lorsqu'ils marchent ou qui ne peuvent pas marcher en raison de la douleur dans le but de faire de l'exercice, de renforcer les muscles affaiblis et de permettre, au bout du compte, aux patients de faire de l'exercice sans porter l'attelle de genou. De plus, un patient peut porter sous-vêtement de compensation, dont la partie jambe est fixée à la partie supérieure de l'attelle de genou, pour empêcher ainsi l'attelle de genou de glisser lorsque le patient se déplace afin d'augmenter le côté pratique.
