Rehband Hyper-X Knee Support

Hyper-extension occurs when the knee is bent backwards beyond its normal range, which can stretch, tear or damage the ligaments. This can be very painful, causing swelling and a loss of strength in the leg.

The Rehband Hyper-X Knee Support is a knee brace which provides excellent joint stabilisation to help prevent and repair this unpleasant injury. That way you can continue to get the most out of your training, pain-free. 

Who Can Make Gains with the Hyper-X Knee Support?

Featuring cross-over straps on the backside, the Hyper-X Knee Support alleviates pain and prevents further damage in the knee region. It can be used to stop healthy knees suffering from hyper-extension.

The knee support is also effective at treating ACL and PCL injuries and collateral ligament injury – the perfect companion for any ambitious sportsperson.

Application

5. To use hyper-extension stop: put the long straps cross-wise in the knee-fold. Pull the long, lower strap through the upper plastic circle, draw back and close the Velcro. Pull the long, upper strap through the lower plastic circle, draw back and close the Velcro. For maximum of hyper-extension stop: put your knee joint in 90 degrees of flexion when tightening the cross

Adjusting the Hyper-X Knee Support

• It is preferred that the splints are shaped by a medically trained person
• It is easiest to adjust the splint by bending it further at the pre-made bend
• Bend the brace splint sideways only
• First find out in which direction you must bend the splint so that it best fits your leg - you feel this easiest while testing the brace 

There are then different approaches to bending the splint (avoid bending force against the splint joint, regardless of which approach you choose):

1. Bend the splint with your hands while holding it against your leg
2. Fasten the splint in a vice or other similar device or tool. When fastened, bend the splint with a tool or by manual force
3. Bend the splint with your hand or with a suitable tool

Washing Instructions

1. Close all Velcro
2. Remove detachable splints
