The FULLFORCE design combines two clinically-proven DonJoy technologies in one brilliantly performing brace. The Donjoy 4-Points-of-Leverage System provides ligament stability and significantly reduces ACL strain. DonJoy's FourcePoint hinge dampens knee joint extension, which increases flexion angles and reduces anterior shear forces on the tibia. The result - less strain on the ACL and a considerable decrease in the chance of injury. Together, these two technologies add up to ironclad confidence.
