Adjustable Stabilizing Knee Brace
Client country: UK
Services: industrial design｜machine design｜functional prototyping｜mold development
Project Background
As health awareness grows and sports participation surges, athletes and fitness enthusiasts increasingly demand reliable knee support. Our team partnered with a medical equipment innovator to develop an adjustable knee brace combining stability, comfort, and personalized fit for dynamic movements.
Solution
Design Philosophy
- Triple-Core Principles: Comfort, stability, and adjustability
- Ergonomic Architecture: Contoured design mirroring knee biomechanics
- Hybrid Material System: Breathable neoprene core with compression-grade elastic bands
Breakthrough Technologies
- Dual-Adjustment Mechanism
- Quick-release buckles with reinforced Velcro® overlays
- Rotational hinges with 0°–120° motion control (IP54-rated durability)
- Climate-Control Fabric
- 4-way stretch mesh with antimicrobial coating (ISO 10993 certified)
- 35% lighter than traditional braces
Project Process
Phase 1: Strategic Design Development
- Market Intelligence: Analyzed 2,300+ user reviews of knee braces in China and global markets
- Ergonomic Prototyping: 3D-scanned 150+ knee profiles to optimize curvature alignment
- Iterative Refinement: Conducted 8 design sprints with orthopedics experts
Phase 2: Material Science Engineering
- Compliance-First Sourcing: FDA-grade silicone hinges + OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics
- Production Innovation: Laser-cut patterning reduced material waste by 22%
Phase 3: Validation & Optimization
- Lab Testing: 50,000+ flexion cycles simulated (ASTM F2931-11 standard)
- User Trials: 94% satisfaction rate in 180-participant field study
- Performance Gains: 40% quicker adjustment time vs. market benchmarks
