Trulife 8668 Swedish Knee Cage

The Trulife 8668 Swedish Knee Cage offers targeted support for individuals experiencing knee hyperextension (genu recurvatum). It features a lightweight, vinyl-coated aluminum frame that molds easily to fit the knee. The adjustable posterior pressure pad ensures secure support, while allowing controlled knee flexion and restricting extension for maximum stability.

The Swedish Knee Cage is a non-articulating knee brace. Its 3-point pressure system provides a simply yet effective way to control
genu recurvatum

INSTALLATION AND USE

• Unfasten one side of the proximal and distal straps at the snaps and slide off the uprights.
• The patient should be seated with the knee in flexion.
• Apply the brace from the posterior, centering the middle back pad to the knee.
• Adjust the M/L of the brace to the knee for comfort.
• Bring the proximal and distal straps across the front of the leg and reattach onto the uprights. The elastic portion of the straps should be against the leg.
• Stand the patient and observe the degree of knee extension.
• Adjust if necessary.

Note: The attachment position of the back pad controls the amount of extension lock-out i.e. attachment more anteriorly
provides less lock-out (more knee extension).
