High Elasticity & Cushioning: Crafted from SBR composite neoprene, this brace conforms snugly to the knee’s natural contours, providing soft, shock-absorbing support.
Precision Fixation: Featuring a three-layer leg Velcro system, a full-face adjustable Velcro panel, inter-leg Velcro connection, and front chest-strap attachment for multi-point stability and no slipping.
Comprehensive Rehabilitation Support: Limits shear and rotational forces, promotes orderly scar tissue formation, and helps maintain muscle strength, bone integrity, and cartilage health.

Materials & Structural Advantages

Material / Structure	Features & Benefits
SBR Composite Fabric (Neoprene)	High elasticity, abrasion-resistant, waterproof, and thermal-insulating. Provides moderate compression to guide orderly scar tissue alignment, improves circulation, and supports soft tissue repair.
Triple-Layer Leg Velcro Straps	Multi-layer adjustable design distributes pressure evenly, protects healing scar tissue, and prevents localized over-compression.
Full-Face Adjustable Velcro Panel	Enables quick donning and doffing, secures the entire brace, and accommodates different leg circumferences to ensure a snug fit.
Inter-Leg Velcro Connection	Balances load between both legs, reduces unilateral strain, and protects muscle and cartilage during recovery.
Front Chest Harness Attachment	Creates a multi-point fixation system that prevents brace slippage, disperses joint pressure, and enhances overall stability.

Brace Function

Tissue Type	Brace Function
Scar Tissue	Limits abnormal shear/rotational forces, provides uniform compression, and promotes collagen fibers to align along stress lines, enhancing ligament substitute function.
Muscle	Offers stable support to reduce compensatory movements, prevents disuse atrophy, and helps maintain and gradually restore muscle strength.
Bone	Distributes load evenly to prevent localized bone overloading or loss, promotes normal bone remodeling, and lowers the risk of degenerative osteoarthritis.
Cartilage	Reduces friction and impact, minimizes cartilage wear, maintains joint lubrication, and supports cartilage self-repair.

Rehabilitation Protocol

Injury Stage	Recovery Period	Weight Management	Exercise Plan	Medications / Supplements	Physical Therapy
Stage I: Mild Injury (< 25% fiber tear)	0–12 weeks	• High‑protein, low‑fat diet • Reduce carbohydrates; include fruits & veggies • Goal: 1–2% body‑weight loss per week	• Weeks 0–2: flat‑ground slow walks, 5–10 min/session, 2×/day • Weeks 3–6: increase to 10–15 min/session • Weeks 7–12: up to 15–20 min/session; add gentle incline walking	• Acute phase NSAIDs (vet‑guided, first 1–2 weeks) • Ongoing: glucosamine + chondroitin, fish oil, vitamin C	• Infrared therapy & warm compresses, 15 min, 2×/day • Gentle massage & passive ROM exercises, 2–3×/day
Stage II: Moderate Injury (25–50% fiber tear)	12–16 weeks	• Continue low‑fat, low‑carb diet • Increase protein (chicken breast, fish) • Maintain calorie control to prevent weight gain	• Weeks 0–4: daily walks, 10–15 min • Weeks 5–8: up to 20 min • Weeks 9–16: introduce light jogs (2–5 min) & gentle hill work	• Continue glucosamine & chondroitin • Adjust anti‑inflammatories as needed • Add green‑lipped mussel extract & vitamin E	• Hydrotherapy (low‑impact water walks), 2–3×/week, 5–10 min • Contrast hot/cold compresses, massage & balance exercises
Stage III: Severe Injury (50–75% fiber tear)	24–36 weeks	• Strict low‑calorie diet • High‑protein foods (beef, lamb, turkey) • Supplement BCAAs & collagen to preserve muscle mass	• Weeks 0–6: daily walks, 10–15 min (low intensity) • Weeks 7–12: 20–30 min walks • Weeks 13–16: short slow jogs (2–5 min) & hill walking • Weeks 17–36: up to 30–40 min walking + low‑intensity running	• Ongoing anti‑inflammatory management • Continue glucosamine & chondroitin • Add calcium & vitamin D • BCAAs (1–1.5 g/kg) to prevent muscle loss	• PT 3×/week: infrared, warm compresses • Low‑frequency electrical stimulation & deep massage • Balance training to enhance stability
Stage IV: Complete Rupture (> 75% fiber tear with meniscus injury & OA)	Lifetime management	• Strict weight control • High‑protein, low‑fat diet • Long‑term Omega‑3, calcium & vitamin D supplementation to prevent osteoporosis	• Early (0–8 weeks): very restricted—short walks only, 2–3 min/session • Mid (9–14 weeks): low‑intensity walks, 10–15 min/session • Late (15 weeks+): only wear brace during long or intense activity; otherwise light daily movement	• Long‑term NSAIDs (vet‑guided) • Ongoing glucosamine, chondroitin, green‑lipped mussel & fish oil • Antioxidants (vitamin E + C) as needed	• Advanced PT: laser therapy, ultrasound • Regular massage • Low‑impact hydrotherapy to boost circulation
