Information/Pictures
The Neoprene Playmaker is ideal
for cold weather climates and sports like skiing, snowboarding, surfing and
wakeboarding. Superior compression and durability.
*** 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.
What is the cause of ACL Tears? Hyperextension of the knee more than 10 degrees beyond its normal fully straightened position,
and excessive inwards rotation of the lower leg is a very common cause of an ACL tear.

"This was under the soccer category. I played, I slid, I got a metal bar ripping through the brace and into me thigh. Now I have a big cut because of this thing. For me it caused more pain then it prevented."
