We’ve been getting a lot of questions about what you can expect from the Levitation™ knee brace. You asked; we listened! This is your go-to guide on how our bionic knee brace can help you do more of what you love every day. First, we’ll look at how the Levitation knee brace is different from most knee braces on the market. Then we’ll explore how our bionic knee brace can help in cases of knee injuries, osteoarthritis, work place activities, and athletics.

How is the Levitation Knee Brace Different?

Very few braces on the market today improve mobility or enhance the capabilities of the human body; most only provide stabilization of your knee joint. Our revolutionary knee brace is different because it does a lot more than just stabilize your knee; the Levitation knee brace can improve the way you move. Levitation’s bionic hinge stores energy as you bend your leg and returns that energy as you extend your leg.

We designed our brace with you in mind. Levitation is lightweight (about two pounds or less than the weight of a pair of boots), fits under your clothing, and has quick release strapping so you can easily put your brace on and take it off.

How do I know if the Levitation Knee Brace can help me?

Levitation works best in activities requiring you to bend or straighten your knees while weight-bearing. We know that everyone’s needs are different, and we customize the brace’s energy return system to meet your specific requirements.

The Levitation knee brace has two modes: low power mode and high power mode. You can change your brace to low power mode whenever you feel that you don’t need it, or if it’s interfering with non-weight bearing movements. Generally speaking, we recommend changing the brace to low power mode while running or climbing stairs, and then changing it back to high power mode when crouching, lifting, lunging, or descending stairs. You can customize the level of assist and the range of motion before the assist activates using an Allen key.
