Clinically-Proven Donjoy Technology
The FullForce Knee Brace combines two clinically proven Donjoy technologies in one brilliantly performing brace. Using the four-points-of-leverage system stabilises the ligament and significantly reduces ACL strain. Donjoy’s FourcePoint hinge dampens knee-joint extension, which increases flexion angles and reduces anterior shear forces on the tibia.
Passive vs. Dynamic Braces
There are two different approaches to the design of a knee brace: passive and dynamic supports. Passive brace designs don’t actively address instabilities, allowing the knee to move before the brace can take effect and therefore resulting in a higher risk of injury.
Conversely, Donjoy’s dynamic four-points-of-leverage design continually addresses instabilities at all times, whether you're running, jumping or standing. This prevents injuries while also allowing you to maintain an active lifestyle.
Standard Polycentric vs. Fourcepoint
Most functional braces incorporate standard polycentric hinges that connect the thigh and calf frames through multi-centred pivot points. This attempts to mimic the knee’s natural movements.
On the other hand, Donjoy has taken the hinge design and ACL protection to another level with its patented Fourcepoint technology. Fourcepoint is the only hinge design that’s clinically proven to protect the ACL by reducing the amount of time spent in the "at-risk" position. That’s confidence every athlete can count on!

What Is the Difference Between the Short and Standard Versions?

Can I Use My Donjoy Full Force Brace In Water?
You can use your DJO Full Force Knee Brace in water if required, however the Velcro material will deteriorate over time due to chlorine or salt-water exposure. To correctly care for your brace following exposure to water, flush hinges out with fresh water after use before leaving the brace to air dry.
What If My Measurements Fall Under Different Sizes?
If your measurements fall under different sizes (for example: Medium for Thigh Circumference and Large for Knee Centre), we recommend you choose your size based on your Thigh Circumference measurement.
