Sizing Tips
- For measurement that fall between a size boundary, we recommend choosing the size up for greater comfort
- If you do not have a flexible tape measure, use a piece of string and wrap it around your thigh, then measure the string with a ruler
- If your joints are swollen or atrophied, please take this into account when choosing a size
Should I Choose the Short or Standard Length?
Which brace you choose will depend on how you are planning to use the Donjoy Knee Brace. The difference between the two options are:
- Short: This configuration features a shorter calf area that stops further up the leg, intended for people wearing large boots for activities such as skiing, skating or climbing.
- Standard: This configuration features a standard sized calf section that goes further down the leg. This may provide a more secure feel, but both leg options will provide the same high level of support.

What Is the Donjoy 4-Point-Of-Leverage System?
The Donjoy 4Titude Knee Support uses Donjoy's four-points-of-leverage system, which can be found in the majority of Donjoy's top knee braces. This significantly reduces ACL strain and provides a constant dynamic load on the knee. The four points of leverage are as follows:
- Point One (Anterior): The first point of leverage is the anterior thigh cuff. This acts as a point for rotating the femur anteriorly.
- Point Two (Posterior): The second point of leverage is the posterior calf cuff. This acts as a point for rotating the tibia posteriorly.
- Point Three (Posterior): The third point of leverage is a posterior thigh strap. This is applied while drawing the hinge bars posteriorly on the knee.
- Point Four (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.
The Four Points of Leverage are spread out across the brace for better balance
