Brace Help!!!
I just had my 6 week post op review today, and rehab/recovery is ahead of schedule. Happy to report that I’ve been cleared for full weight bearing (within comfort zone) as I continue PT. ROM is up to 110 degrees, I’m on a path to success after having two grade 4 lesion grafts (patella and trochlea)
However, still being told to keep the ROM brace on for additional support and protection while out and about, as well as while sleeping.
This brace has been great up until recently, and I can’t stand it anymore. It won’t stay in place regardless of how tight the straps are. The frame adjuster locks are useless. As it falls, the strap above my patella puts additional pressure on my quad tendon and causes decent discomfort. All in all, I feel like this original brace has served its purpose, and I need to find something better.
Wondering if anyone migrated to a different brace once becoming cleared for weight bearing PT, that offered the support you felt you needed while continuing your recovery.
My current brace seems to be a standard hospital issue Breg T-Scope.
