- Flex Knee should not be applied which comes in contact with an open wound and should not be used on limb because it has grade three plus edema
- Treats mild to moderate flexion contractures
- Provides dynamic low load prolonged stretch
- Brace will flex the shortened tissue by applying a neuro-inhibiting extension stretch and the unique flexible properties of the knee orthotic device will facilitate muscle inhibition to predispose the affected joint
- Patented negative non-linear “flex” properties accommodate involuntary muscle contractions
- Device should be modified by resetting the hinges as needed into greater extension until the function is restored to the affected joint

DynaPro Flex Knee Orthotic Treatment Rationale
- The knee orthotic device will facilitate muscle inhibition to predispose the affected joint(s) to the benefits of Low Load Prolonged Stretch provided by the orthotic.
- By increasing wearing time to three to six hours per use, the Total End Range Time (TERT) of device wear allows the Muscle Spindle to re-set at a greater resting length, providing long effects stretch and permanent increases in joint range of motion over time.
- Orthotic treatment should be continued until function is restored to the affected joint.
DynaPro Flex Knee Support Functional Objective
- Increase knee Range of Motion to full extension, allowing for increased function and use of the affected joint.
- Functional use of the knee can be significantly improved by increasing the functional ROM, allowing for greater independence in ADL’s such as weight bearing, wheel chair mobility, and potential ambulation.
- If function is not restored or significantly limited, the device should be used to maintain full ROM as needed.
