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.
Four-Points-of-Leverage System
The Donjoy Armor Professional Knee Brace uses the famous and revolutionary four-points-of-leverage brace design. Alongside its rigid cuff and strap configuration, this applies a posterior force to the tibia that helps prevent anterior movement. These features help to significantly reduce ACL strain and provide a constant dynamic load on the area.
The standard short calf version is designed for boots with high clearance like ski boots, so you can get the best knee support possible while you're out on the slopes or breaking a sweat on the football pitch. The swooping inner thigh cuff offers good thigh clearance for the other leg so your running won't be obstructed by the frame.
Is There a Manufacturer's Warranty?
This product is supplied with a one year manufacturer's warranty on the frame and hinges, as well as a six month warranty on soft goods.
Different Variations
The Donjoy Armor Professional Knee Brace comes in several different sizes to suit different leg sizes. The support is also available for different ligaments to suit your needs.
Contraindications of the Donjoy Armor Professional Knee Brace
