Result of comparative measurements
The following comments generally apply:
The greater the forces absorbed, the greater the stabilizing effect of the support-/orthosis on the particular action.
1. Anterior drawer
The varied stabilizing effect of TSM supports is based on a modular system of various knee hinge stays with and without limitation of flexion and extension, with and without locking and with the additional action of a patellar ligament strap (PSB).
2. Varus/valgus stability
