DonJoy ACL & OA Fitting Instructions
FourcePoint Hinge Technology works to enhance DonJoy's Four-Points-of-Leverage design by damping knee joint extension, which improves the mechanical performance of the brace and reduces shear forces at the knee. Addressing the "at risk" position, the hinge resistance engages in the last 25 degrees of knee extension.
*** The Four Points of Leverage combine to successfully apply a net differential posterior force, or constant force to the tibia, which reduces the instability in the ACL. Point 1 Anterior: The first point of leverage is the anterior thigh cuff. It acts as a point for rotating the femur anteriorly. Point 2 Posterior: The second point of leverage is the posterior calf cuff. It acts as a point for rotating the tibia posteriorly. Point 3 Posterior: The third point of leverage is a posterior thigh strap, which is applied while drawing the hinge bars posteriorly on the knee. Point 4 Anterior: Incorporating the fourth point generates the crucial opposing force. By tightening and affixing the anterior tibial strap, the hinge is drawn into proper position, and the tibia is rotated posteriorly.
The FourcePoint Technology was developed to further protect the ACL and enhance the Four Points of Leverage brace design. The patented FourcePoint hinges are designed to react during leg extension and offer an increasing resistance in the last 25° of extension, in order to reduce extension shock and increased posterior tibial loads. The hinge has 3 adjustment settings to vary the amount of resistance to meet the specification of the physician's protocols.
LO PRO HINGE WITH STEEL OUTER PLATE The low profile FourcePoint™ hinge features a new, sleek, protective steel outer plate. This makes it the thinnest yet toughest hinge available, able to withstand the impacts of contact or extreme sports. FOURCEPOINT™ HINGE TECHNOLOGY Knee flexion angles less than 60 degrees are considered “at risk” and contribute to ACL injuries. The FourcePoint™ hinge technology increases the knee flexion angles thereby reducing the time spent in the ACL “at risk” positions. It enhances DonJoy’s 4-Points-of-Leverage System™ by dampening knee extension, and reducing shear forces at the knee. The FourcePoint™ hinge uses a spring mechanism which engages in the last 25 degrees of extension and provides resistance during knee extension
