Knee Extension Device

Model: 40015

The 3x10=0 Full Extension Knee Device is for the patient who lacks passive extension of the knee following ACL reconstruction, total knee replacement, knee surgery, and/or trauma. This device allows patients to regain full extension through a safe and effective rehabilitation routine.

Knee Extension Device Features:

• Simple to use, so patient compliance is high.
• Very lightweight extension board device (weighs approximately 2.5 pounds) - very portable for use during the workday.
• Low-profile - easy to store away when not in use.
• Patient easily adjusts the tension of the straps to tighten the leg positioning each day while the leg gains more and more extension capabilities.
• A complimentary adjunct to physical therapy programs for patients with knee flexion contractures (extension loss)
• Manufacturer warrants this product for one year against any defects in materials and workmanship.

Knee Extension Device Application:

• While seated upright on the floor or on an examination table, with the thin rigid end of the device under the buttock, the heel is supported by the white capped dome riser at the opposite end of the foam board. The domed riser is made out of a soft material for patient comfort.
• The passive pressure straps are drawn around the leg and the foam cushion. One strap is above the knee in the lower thigh area, and the other is placed just below the bottom of the patella. Be sure to place the straps in a comfortable area, avoiding any scars or inflamed tissue.
• The ring loops are used with the straps for tightening the straps, to move the knee toward full extension.
• During the next ten minutes, the patient will occasionally tighten the straps to their comfort level.
• This procedure is generally performed three times per day for ten minutes per session until full extension is accomplished. Thus 3x10=0
• NOTE: It can also be advantageous in overcoming long standing extension problems by simply lengthening the application time. Always consult with your doctor or therapist and follow their recommendations.

Available Sizes: One size fits all; Can be used on both the right or left knee.
