DonJoy Ski Armor Ligament Knee Braces Information
Taking ligament bracing to the final level, DonJoy is please to introduce the functional ligament knee brace know as THE SKI ARMOR (Extreme) , with its patented 4-point dynamic leverage system technology. The name of this brace says it all. The Armor brace was designed for strength and durability.
The DonJoy Armor is lightweight and low profile but stronger than any of the current off-the-shelf braces. State-of-the-art hyperextension stops do just what you'd expect - keep your knees from hyperextending! The DonJoy Armor is used by people who live for the goal: Never Stop Getting Better.
The DonJoy Ski Armor is different that the standard Action Armor (Extreme) or Short Armor.
The DonJoy Ski Armor has a Medial Ski Deflector along the medial or inner hinged of the knee brace. This deflector prevents the medial (inner) hinge from “hooking up” with the other brace or knee. This is incorporated into the hinge itself and cannot be removed. This feature is only available with the Ski Armor Knee Brace. The DonJoy Ski Armor is recommended when two armor braces are worn at the same time.
If only one brace is to be worn, we recommend the DonJoy Short Armor (Extreme) Knee Brace.

How to Put On Your DonJoy Ski Armor Ligament Knee Brace
FourcePoint Hinge Technology works to enhance DonJoy's Four-Points-of-Leverage design by damping knee joint extension, which improves the mechanical performance of the brace and reduces shear forces at the knee. Addressing the "at risk" position, the hinge resistance engages in the last 25 degrees of knee extension.
***The Four Points of Leverage combine to successfully apply a net differential posterior force, or constant force to the tibia, which reduces the instability in the ACL.
- Point 1 Anterior: The first point of leverage is the anterior thigh cuff. It acts as a point for rotating the femur anteriorly
- Point 2 Posterior: The second point of leverage is the posterior calf cuff. It acts as a point for rotating the tibia posteriorly
- Point 3 Posterior: The third point of leverage is a posterior thigh strap, which is applied while drawing the hinge bars posteriorly on the knee
- Point 4 Anterior: Incorporating the fourth point generates the crucial opposing force. By tightening and affixing the anterior tibial strap, the hinge is drawn into proper position, and the tibia is rotated posteriorly
Feel secure about your purchase. Armor by DonJoy braces come with a 1-year warranty on frame and hinges, and a 6 month warranty on soft goods.
