Knee ROM Hinged Braces — Post-Op & Ligament Support

A hinged knee ROM brace (Range of Motion brace) is a prescribed orthopedic device used after knee surgery or serious knee injury to control and gradually restore the knee’s range of motion. Unlike a simple knee sleeve, a ROM brace uses adjustable hinges that can be set to specific flexion and extension limits — allowing clinicians to progress rehabilitation in a controlled, measurable way.

OrthoTape carries hinged knee ROM braces from the most trusted brands in orthopedics: Ossur, DeRoyal, DonJoy, and eLife. Whether you need a post-surgical immobilizer, a ligament support brace, or an OA unloader, you’ll find the right fit here.

Frequently Asked Questions — Knee ROM & Post-Op Bracing

What does a knee ROM brace do after surgery?

A post-op ROM brace controls how far the knee can bend and straighten during recovery. The hinge stops are set by the surgeon or physical therapist and progressively unlocked as healing advances — protecting the repair while allowing controlled movement to prevent stiffness.

How long do you wear a hinged knee brace after ACL surgery?

Most ACL reconstruction protocols require a hinged ROM brace for 4–6 weeks post-op, though this varies by surgeon protocol and graft type. Your orthopedic surgeon will prescribe the specific ROM settings and wear schedule.

What is the difference between a ROM brace and a functional knee brace?

A ROM brace is used immediately post-surgery to limit and control motion during initial healing. A functional brace (like the DonJoy Playmaker II or DeRoyal Warrior II) is used later in recovery or for ligament instability during activity — it supports the knee without restricting range of motion.

Can an OA unloader brace be worn after knee surgery?

OA unloader braces are designed for osteoarthritis management, not post-surgical immobilization. If you have both OA and a recent surgery, consult your orthopedic surgeon before selecting a brace type.

Do I need a prescription for a hinged knee ROM brace?

Most hinged ROM braces do not require a prescription to purchase, but they are typically prescribed and fitted by an orthopedic surgeon or physical therapist as part of a post-operative protocol. Always follow your clinician’s guidance on settings and wear duration.
