Össur, a global leader in the orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) industry with a history of clinical innovations has launched the REBOUND ACL brace, which has been designed to help patients recovering from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
Designed to dynamically reduce strain on a patient’s ACL and provide a comfortable load on their posterior thigh and anterior tibia, the REBOUND ACL brace provides clinically tested comfort that has been validated through clinical testing with load mapping data collected during daily activities.
The brace’s proprietary Dynamic Tension System (DTS) allows for individualized, adjustable settings according to individual anatomy and rehabilitation requirements whether the patient is undergoing non-surgical conservative treatment approaches or recovering from post-op reconstruction.
A published clinical and biomechanical study has demonstrated that the REBOUND ACL releases strain on a patient’s ACL during activity and can also significantly reduce strain on the meniscus in people with ACL-deficient knees. Another study demonstrated that the brace provides an opposing force that varies throughout knee flexion in proportion to ACL tension, an important feature of an ACL brace .
“The REBOUND ACL brace serves as an important therapeutic compliment to existing clinical protocols by supporting an optimal biomechanical joint environment, which is the foundation for long-term successful patient outcomes, whether that patient is undergoing a conservative treatment protocol or recovering from a post-op reconstruction,” said Mark Tymchenko, Össur’s vice president of Americas, Bracing & Supports.
“The REBOUND ACL’s DTS system draws upon the breakthrough work Össur conducted when it was first developing its now gold-standard REBOUND PCL brace, which provides truly anatomically correct dynamic loading through full range-of-motion,” Tymchenko added. “In developing our new REBOUND ACL brace, Össur’s R&D team applied our decades of experience in proven biomechanical approaches and collaborated with leading orthopaedic clinical experts to design a bracing solution that would provide a comfortable, anatomically correct dynamic load to the ACL during a patient’s healing.”
Constructed of lightweight aluminum, the REBOUND ACL brace features flexion and extension range-of-motion lockouts for enhanced patient safety, a posterior frame design that has been optimized for fit and support, and an open anterior to facilitate easier donning and doffing of the brace. The brace also features Össur’s proprietary Blue is You system of intuitive patient touch points and ActiveGrip liners with the added advantage of Össur’s anti-migration system (AMS) strapping, which further promote suspension and patient comfort. The brace is available for patients throughout North America and Europe, including custom-made options through Össur’s SmartMeasure app.
