What is CB brace
A brace is “a structure in which a connecting member is incorporated,
with a joint portion and a joint member in the center.”
The brace fittings include the inner and outer struts, which are
connected by a bridge. This is referred to as the center bridge, since the
center of the joint is connected by arched steel.
From this, we have taken the initial letters of Center and
Bridge and
named our product CB Brace.
SAKIMA Prosthetics & Orthotics Co., Ltd. has acquired a patent for the
structural concept of CB.
Features of CB Brace
- ①There is increased rigidity / supporting force of the brace near the fittings.
- ②Because the rigidity of the entire brace is reinforced and secured with the CB bar, it is possible to reduce the brace’s weight.
- ③There is increased flexibility due to the fittings of the struts toward the tip.
CB Brace realizes stable support, correction, and comfort even when mobile,
without
sacrificing supportive capability although it is lightweight.
CB Brace is ideal for osteoarthritis (OA).
The CB bar stabilizes movement by suppressing deformation / shaking (thrust) of
the joint, improves the load balance of the joint with three-point support and correction,
suppresses inflammation, and alleviates pain.
Because the steel components of the entire
brace are secured and reinforced by the CB bar, CB Brace is the world’s most lightweight
brace. This is accomplished without reducing its supportive capability as a rigid brace, and
it provides a comfort level that is close to that of a soft brace.
- A state where the muscle strength balance collapses,
then thighbone hits tibia to cause pain.
- The muscle strength balance is improved by the three-point support correction,then the pain is relieved.
The only brace for genu recurvatum
Our brace for genu recurvatum is at the core of CB Brace.
CB features are utilized to their full advantage against genu recurvatum, a condition that places a heavy burden on joints / fittings.
By setting a strong initial bending angle, CB Brace keeps the knee joint securely in a mild flexed position and facilitates exercise and muscle strengthening.
CB Brace exerts its power not only in everyday life but also at the rehabilitation site.
CB Brace is a unique brace for genu recurvatum that optimizes exercise performance while maintaining high supportive and corrective force.
Firmly prevent excessive extension in the front and in the back

[CB Braces: Innovative Ideas]
Orthopedists employ braces on a wide range of therapeutic occasions. Traditionally, the fundamental principle of orthopedic therapy was to immobilize the affected region with a plaster cast and let the patient rest.

[When I saw the CB brace for the first time]
I first saw the CB brace in a video of the Hemiplegia Patients Golf Competition in Okinawa held on January 26, 2013. The video was given to me by Sokatsu Yamamoto, Professor at Kumamoto Health Science University, who had served as an advisor to the event.
