The Miracle Brace is committed to your Full Recovery
Additional Information
The Miracle Brace is a dynamic leg straightener. The key to its effectiveness is the low-load, prolonged-duration stretch (LLPS) technology that delivers a biomechanically correct stimulus to create a permanent length change in shortened connective tissue.
The device mimics a therapist’s hands, providing the patient with an additional gentle stretch at home as part of their home exercise program (HEP). The Miracle Brace is Bio-mechanically correct thanks to the 3-4 point force/counterforce system.
Our Physiologically Correct brace, applies a low-load, prolonged-duration stretch (LLPS) to the connective tissue by constantly seeking the patient’s end range of motion. T.E.R.T. (Total End Range Time) There is a direct correlation between the amount of time a joint spends at its available end range and gains in range of motion.
Our Bilateral Tensioning System: The bilateral tensioning system applies an equal amount of force across the joint and maintains proper anatomical alignment. Customized Fit consultants customize the fit of each unit and create a wearing schedule conducive to the patient’s lifestyle, along with providing support and follow-up care. Patient Friendly, comfortable Miracle Brace is easy for the patient to apply and remove.
After Surgery
If the leg is not straightened after knee surgery, there is an increased risk of developing scar tissue. This can limit your range of motion and lead to the need for a subsequent knee surgery.
During knee surgery, the surgeon may need to remove scar tissue that has formed around the knee joint, which can be a challenging and time-consuming procedure.

Importance of Quickly Straightening Your Leg
Total knee replacement (TKR), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, and medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction are commonly performed surgeries to treat various knee problems. Failure of a patient to straighten their leg post-surgery can lead to loss of mobility and may require a second surgery.
Patients who were unable to straighten their leg had decreased range of motion, decreased quadriceps strength, decreased walking ability, and decreased quality of life. Failure to straighten the leg was also associated with an increased risk of needing a second surgery.
After knee surgery, maintaining full extension or straightening of the leg is essential for proper recovery. Full extension is necessary to prevent contractures, which occur when there is a loss of joint mobility due to scarring of the surrounding tissue. When the knee joint is flexed, the soft tissue structures, such as the ligaments, tendons, and muscles, can become shortened or tight. This can cause stiffness and limit mobility, resulting in a decreased range of motion in the knee joint. Scar tissue formation is a common occurrence after surgery, particularly in the knee joint. Scar tissue can form as a result of injury or surgery, and it can cause joint stiffness and pain, leading to a reduction in
BENEFITS OF LEG STRAIGHTENING
The benefits of leg straightening post knee surgery include maintaining full range of motion and preventing contractures. Full extension also helps to reduce pain and swelling, as it allows for proper blood flow and circulation to the area, which aids in healing. Physical therapy is often prescribed post-surgery to help with leg straightening exercises and to ensure proper healing of the joint. In summary, leg straightening post knee surgery is crucial to prevent the formation of scar tissue and maintain full range of motion. Failure to straighten the leg can lead to the need for a subsequent knee surgery and cause joint stiffness and pain, limiting mobility.
Importance of maintaining full extension of the knee joint to prevent complications such as joint stiffness, contractures, and scar tissue formation. The soft tissue structures surrounding the knee joint, such as the ligaments, tendons, and muscles, can become shortened or tight when the joint is not fully extended. This can lead to stiffness, limited mobility, and a decreased range of motion in the knee joint. The orthopedic surgeon may also explain how scar tissue formation is a common occurrence after knee surgery and can lead to joint stiffness and pain, which can further limit mobility and range of motion. Scar tissue can also make subsequent surgeries more challenging and time-consuming.
To prevent these complications, your orthopedic surgeon may emphasize the importance of rapid leg straightening post knee surgery, which can help to maintain full range of motion, prevent contractures, and reduce pain and swelling. They may also highlight the importance of physical therapy and exercise in promoting proper healing and preventing complications. In most cases, your orthopedic surgeon may stress the need for rapid leg straightening; post knee surgery as a critical aspect of ensuring a successful and uncomplicated recovery for the patient.
Adhesions, fibrosis, and hypertrophic scarring are potential complications that can arise if the leg is not straightened quickly post-surgery. These terms describe the formation of scar tissue in and around the knee joint.
Adhesions refer to the abnormal attachment of tissue to neighboring structures. In the context of knee surgery, adhesions can form between soft tissue structures, such as ligaments, tendons, and muscles, and the surrounding bone or other soft tissues. This abnormal attachment can lead to decreased mobility and range of motion of the knee joint.
Fibrosis refers to the formation of excess fibrous tissue, which can occur after knee surgery due to tissue damage and inflammation. This excess fibrous tissue can contribute to joint stiffness, limiting movement and causing pain.
Hypertrophic scarring refers to the abnormal overgrowth of scar tissue in response to tissue injury or surgery. This type of scarring can cause raised, thickened, and sometimes painful scars. In the context of knee surgery, hypertrophic scarring can lead to decreased mobility and range of motion of the knee joint. These potential complications can arise when the leg is not straightened quickly post-surgery because flexion of the knee joint can cause tension on the soft tissue structures surrounding the joint, which can contribute to the formation of scar tissue. Rapid leg straightening helps to prevent contractures and promotes the healing of soft tissue structures, reducing the risk of complications such as adhesions, fibrosis, and hypertrophic scarring.

Shorter Treatment Time
Numerous published studies support a patient wearing protocol of three 30-minute sessions per day for steady and permanent gains in Range of Motion. Time is precious for everyone, and The Miracle Brace allows patients use of their limb for important activities of daily living.
Timing Matters! Earlier Initiation Achieves Greater Gains
Based on clinical and published evidence, when a delay in ROM recovery is identified, the earlier an adjunctive ROM therapy program is initiated, the greater and faster the gains in ROM will be achieved. Connective tissue remodeling post injury is progressive and time sensitive. Waiting to increase dosage of stretch via adjunctive ROM therapy will hinder results – it will take longer to make gains in ROM and maximal gains achieved will likely be less.
Unequaled Patient Compliance
Successful Protocols Here are examples of successful protocols for initiating ROM therapy, followed in major U.S. orthopedic centers: TKA – 6 weeks post op: If patient measures at 90° (or less) of knee flexion, or is lacking 10° (or more) of knee extension, it is ideal to initiate Dynamic Splinting.
After Corrective Surgery for Arthrofibrosis – Initiate Dynamic Splinting immediately post Manipulation Under Anesthesia, or Lysis of Adhesions to maximize surgical outcomes and prevent recurrence.
Comfortable Bi-Directional Therapy
Bidirectional Product Options For Cost And Efficiency The Miracle Brace allows Bi Directional movement, allowing ROM therapy in two directions of joint motion with one device. The range of motion is set per your individual needs, based on your current level of Therapy.
When is it Safe to Begin Therapy Using The Miracle Brace?
As soon as a patient is cleared for passive stretching post injury or surgery, it is safe to add a home program of SPS or DS therapy. When is the Ideal Time to Begin Range of MotionTherapy? Research shows that ideal time to apply low load prolonged stretch is during the adaptive phase of wound healing, or within 90 days post trauma. Collagen fibers are most responsive to remodeling forces such as SPS and DS in this time period. With that caveat in mind, The Miracle Brace therapy should be started as soon as possible.
