We assessed the relative restraints that are provided by fourteen currently
available functional knee-braces, using six limbs in cadavera. The tests
were made at 30 and 60 degrees of flexion of the knee, and a mechanical
loading system applied loads that caused anterior-posterior translation and
internal-external rotation. The braces limited abnormal tibiofemoral
displacements by 10 to 75 per cent in translation; there was more variation
in rotation. This study demonstrated that functional knee-braces provide a
restraining influence that may be beneficial in the control of abnormal
displacements of the knee, but that the degree of restraint varies
considerably.
