FAQs
What specific injuries is this brace best suited for?
The Bionic Fullstop Knee Brace is primarily designed for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries, ligament and tendon sprains, hyperextension issues, and patella instability. It provides protection during recovery and helps prevent future injuries.
How do I determine the correct size?
Accurate sizing is crucial. You will need to measure the circumference of your thigh and calf at specific points as indicated in the product's sizing chart. Compare these measurements to the provided size guide to select the best fit.
Can I wear this brace during sports?
Yes, this brace is engineered for athletic performance and provides protection during high-impact and dynamic activities. Its design aims to support the knee without overly restricting natural movement.
How do the Fullstop dampening hinges work?
The hinges are designed to prevent hyperextension by controlling the backward bending of the knee. They absorb impact and manage the range of motion, helping to train the muscles to keep the knee in a safer zone and improve joint mechanics.
Is this brace suitable for post-surgery recovery?
Yes, it is beneficial for knees that have undergone surgery, particularly for ligament reconstruction, as it helps protect the joint during the healing and rehabilitation process.
How often should I clean the brace?
It is recommended to clean the brace after periods of heavy use or when it appears soiled. Regular cleaning ensures hygiene and prevents buildup that could affect the material or hinges.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for the most up-to-date warranty information specific to your region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Brace feels too tight or causes discomfort
Loosen the straps slightly and readjust the positioning. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements. If discomfort persists, consult the fitting guide or a healthcare professional.
Hinges feel stiff or noisy
Ensure the hinges are clean and free from debris. Lightly lubricate the hinge points if recommended by the manufacturer's care instructions, using a product safe for neoprene or plastic components. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Straps do not secure properly
Check that the Velcro straps are clean and free of lint, which can reduce their adhesive strength. Ensure the straps are being routed through their intended buckles or points of attachment correctly.
Brace slips down the leg during activity
Re-adjust the straps for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the skin or clothing layer underneath is dry. Consider if the sizing may be incorrect; a brace that is too large will not stay in place.
