JAS/dynasplint knee brace is needed for me tkr range of motion. Anyone have experience with this?

Hi. I tried the brace and it did nothing for me. I ended up getting a MUA and wish I had done it sooner. I didn't have an issue straightening, my issue was bending. I hope you have better luck with the brace than I did.

Hi Paddycakes. I am nine months post op of LTKR. I also have a Jas brace. really not doing anything for me either. My PT and I do an exercise where he does the same as the brace. I have gotten better results form the exercise than the brace.

Hopefully it will work for you. keep up posted and good luck.

i have had a very negative reaction to it. i dont know what went wrong.

i did as instructed..,starting slow, progressing to 30 min x 3 a day.

i never felt pain while i had it on but the joint and knee felt increasingly worse. i had another demonsration of procedure and was supervised.

the knee became more painful, and found food shopping in the supermarket almost impossible.

i am now on prednisone x 12 days and have loss flex

bility of 10 degrees . i only used it for 18 days .

I think you may need mua but should have done it sooner. I didnt go to physio but first few weeks just concentrated on bending and getting leg flat on bed, and now have ideal range of movement , I found physios too rough , wanted to force knee resulting then in swelling and a day of more pain . I slowly bent and straightened knee and in pool , walked around shops with one crutch right after got out of hospital , had very little swelling because i didnt force it . Good luck , but havent heard good reports about the brace .

I will be scheduling a manipulation for scar tissue build up. not looking forward to it, but cant take the constant ache when walking. I keep waiting for the time when I will say it was worth it.....I feel no better than before the surgery. Still limping ( because I can fully extend), still hurts ( because I cant fully bend).
