OrthoPro HyperEx Knee Brace for Hyperextension & Instability L1850

The 5 star rating is based on product and customer experience. This is my second brace of this model and it works very well with the hyper extension of my left knee. My reason for the 2nd brace was because I needed to use it in the showers and didn’t want to wait for it to dry before using it again. Even showering with the brace (not recommended by the manufacturer) my first brace has held up beautifully, Velcro and all. After using my second brace all was well for the first 5 months, but then the Velcro on the top strap started to have less grip and releasing. I contacted the business and after a few emails and a couple of pictures they sent me a new replacement brace. They didn’t ask to see it before believing me, they just sent a replacement and sent a mailing label and asked that I return the old brace. They have my business and loyalty as long as I need a brace. Highly recommend this business.

This is Probably the best brace on the market for Genu Recurvatum; however, while it offers good resistance to posterior stress such as hyper extension of the knee, it may fracture in the midline of the posterior supporting structure along the level of the bolt placement. With the first fracture, I simply ordered a second brace and thinking that I might have received a faulty one the first time. Nonetheless, the second brace fractured in the same place. The fracturing occurred when I was not wearing the brace and had simply laid each brace down on a table. I think that there may have been posterior to anterior tension that caused the fracture in that the brace may not be reinforced well enough to Resist that direction of pressure. Currently, I have salvaged the most recent brace by placing a stack of three modified Wooden tongue depressors anterior and posterior to the point of fracture and securing these in place with electrical tape. For the time being, this seems to be working and providing adequate support against the genu recurvatum, as well as the pressure in the opposite direction when laying the brace down. I am a physician and commonly prescribe braces and orthotics for my patients. I have Genu Recuvatum (MS related) and have tried many braces to help with this. I believe this brace is the best one in this price range. Just be aware that it may break and you can salvage it. I would recommend that the manufacturers consider using a light weight metal for the posterior support or reconsider the placement of the posterior bolt through the composite plastic material they currently use. The bolt placement may be creating an unintended point of weakness that leads to fracturing.

Baught in September and worked just fine until it broke.

It worked help me from hyper extending my knee until I could get knee replacement surgery

This genuinely did work when it was functioning. The problem is that I used it very infrequently, and while it worked well when I did use it, it eventually snapped. I repaired it, and all was good for a while, but then it snapped again and broke beyond repair. I live in Bali, so I bought this when I came back to the States. I want to say I spent almost $400 on it, which makes the fact that it broke so easily particularly disappointing. I’m currently waiting to hear back from the company to see if they will replace or exchange it. I’m hoping they will because I don’t mind using the product. It genuinely worked for what I needed it for. I’m just quite disappointed with how easily it broke, especially considering how infrequently I used it. If they replace the product, I’ll amend and update this review to reflect that. I’d like to be able to report that they stand behind their products, but at this point, I’m still waiting to hear back from them. My suggestion, if you do buy this, would be to go to Home Depot or somewhere similar and reinforce the back plate with metal. The product itself worked for me, but that part simply did not hold up.

Well, this brace was working great, I have extreme spasticity in my right leg and hyper extension, but the brace was doing an excellent job of bending it most of the time. But then the top hinge that kept the strap on snapped six days after the return window closed, so the brace is useless, $200 down the drain.

My husband has MS and needed this brace for his knee. He wears this in addition to his AFO for foot drop. His physical therapist was thrilled with the fit and how well it helped him to walk.

The brace does its job for a few days. But the Velcro behind the knee wears out way too quickly. I literally used it for 3 day and it didn’t stay in place. I couldn’t adjust the balloon. I must have missed something. I couldn’t depress it at all. It’s not really comfortable. But I was ok that part. At a certain point, I kept rubbing the back of my knee til it got raw. For the day it work, I did its job.
