Thanks everyone for your help.
Following are the responses, positive and negative.
The Protonic Brace is distributed by empi. The product manager and person you
need to contact is Suzanne Mouw. Her number is 800 328-2536 x 7336.
THE PROTRONICS K.O IS DESIGNED TO ISOLATE
THE QUADS DURING FAIT AND STRENGTHENING..THE PATIENT SHOULD RECEIVE SOME
P.T. SESSIONS AFTER THE FITTING...YOU CAN OBTAIN ONE FROM PROFESSIONAL
PRODUCTS...IT'S EXPENSIVE BUT IT WORKS AND I USUALLY HAVE THE REP FIT THE
BRACE IN MY OFFICE AND THEY CAN THEN FINE TUNE THE JOINTS
In my vast experience of one patient that I used it on I am convinced I will
NEVER use it again. I think you can contact your E-Z wrap rep, at least that
is the company that handles it in MI. It is very costly, very complicated,
very difficult for any patient to use as directed and it did not work for
the patient I had. The developers believe they have unlocked the secret of
anterior knee pain. Maybe it works on all of their patients but it did not
work on mine. If it was my knee I believe the money would be better spent on
a few more visits to a good PT than on this piece of junk.
Thanks again,
Florent
