Effective Hyperextension Prevention

• Excellent stabilization
• Hyperextension prevention
• Gait training is facilitated
• Good proprioceptive effect through skin contact over a large area
• Easy to apply
• Soft, temperature-regulating PCM material
  
  

The Genu Neurexa is ideal for customers suffering from peripheral nerve damage or paralysis of the leg musculature following a stroke.

Hyperextension is prevented using a classic three-point system. Crossed inelastic straps in the hollow of the knee work together with inelastic straps in front as well as lockable lateral joint components. The joint components permit extension and flexion limitation at increments of 10°.

PCM (phase change material) serves as the temperature-regulating textile base material. PCM is very soft and pleasant to wear. It prevents the accumulation of heat so that the orthosis can also be worn for extended periods of time. In order to take full advantage of the material characteristics, the orthosis should be worn directly on the skin. Customers with good hand function can put the orthosis on independently.

The Genu Neurexa is machine washable at 40° C.

Indications:

Paresis of the leg musculature resulting in hyperextension of the knee, for example after stroke, hernia of an intervertebral disc in the lumbar spine, peripheral nerve damage etc.
