Hi, I’m interested in the DonJoy Full Force Ligament Knee Brace. My question is what’s the difference between the CI or ACL option.
Question by: Locke on May 5, 2010, 10:42 AM
The difference between the CI and the ACL option for the DonJoy Full Force Ligament Knee Brace is the strapping sequence. The ACL option has 5 straps; 2 posterior thigh, 2 anterior calf, 1 lower posterior calf. The CI option has all 5 straps the ACL option has plus 1 extra strap on the anterior thigh.

Hi. I am interested in getting a knee brace for soccer but I am wondering what would be best, the donjoy armor or the donjoy fullforce?
Question by: Bill on Aug 4, 2010, 9:33 AM
Hello Bill,
The DonJoy Full Force Ligament Knee Brace is most commonly worn by competitive athletes that can't afford to be weighed down by a heavy brace, and are not trying to prevent contact or impact related injuries (like a football lineman might want to do).
The FULLFORCE knee brace is sleek, low-profile, and exceptionally light weight. It is ideal for mobile athletes like wide receivers or soccer players that are looking for complete protection for their knee, but don’t want to sacrifice speed.
The DonJoy Armor is a studier, heavier brace designed to take more impact. Given your sport, I'd definitely go with a DonJoy Full Force Ligament Knee Brace.

i play football i am the running back i need a brace for both knees i have ripped my mcl on one knee and ripped my meniscus and acl on the other i need protection for both knees for everything whats the best knee brace for me?
Question by: nate on Aug 14, 2010, 3:08 PM
The DonJoy Full Force is a great choice. Your other two options would be the DonJoy Armor which is stronger and slightly heavier brace that offers a bit more protection. If you want and can afford to go custom you would want to get the DonJoy Defiance knee brace. It's the lightest, strongest and best fitting option. It's the same ACL knee brace you see all the NCAA and NFL players such as Peyton Manning and Phillip Rivers using.

Will the full force rust in salt water? I have a armor and the "d" rings rusted out
Question by: Richie G on Sep 4, 2010, 5:29 PM
Hello Richie,
The DonJoy Armor Knee Brace has metal tabs and "D" Rings, but the DonJoy Full Force Ligament Knee Brace has plastic tabs and metal "D" rings. The rust should be less of an issue, but you want to be sure to rinse the brace in freshwater after immersion in salt water.

I use a Full Force ACL brace and really like it. Can I swim with it on? if so, how do I care for it after it's wet?
Question by: Karen on Oct 28, 2010, 8:55 AM
Yes you can swim with it. After use, rinse with fresh water and air dry. Do not put any of the softgoods in the dryer.

I recently had acl surgery about three months ago, I getting a knee to start my running program and for when go back to playing football. I play d-line so they recommended the amor brace but i feel like the fullforce would be better for my style of play and for other sports activites I do. Like Muay Thai. I just need a suggestion on which would be better.
Thanks
Thanks

Hello Ray,
The DonJoy Full Force Ligament Knee Brace is a great alternative to the DonJoy Armor. The Full Force is constructed of the same material as the Armor, but at a lighter weight. Ideal for quick moving activities where the impact protection offered by the Armor is not required.

Is the Full Force made of carbon fiber or aluminum? The description says aluminum but the picture looks like carbon fiber.
Thanks,
Kyle

Question by: Kyle on Dec 2, 2010, 8:33 AM
The DonJoy Full Force Ligament Knee Brace is made out of aluminum. The Carbon fiber appearance is cosmetic. It's actually the same material the DonJoy Armor is made of.

What would be the best and lightest brace possible at the Middle Linebacker position for football? The one that I have now by townsend is too heavy and is constantly sliding down.
Question by: Frank on Dec 5, 2010, 4:51 PM
Hello Frank,
The DonJoy FullForce will provide the most support at the lighter weight than the Armor or other similarly constructed braces.
The brace itself is malleable, meaning it can be bent without breaking. If you find that either cuff is loose and the straps aren't tight enough, simply bend the cuff to match the shape for a more snug fit.
You may also want to try an undersleeve or Silicon Strap Padding to address migration.

Two Questions;
1.) What is the difference between short and standard options?
2.) I know the ACL option, what does the CI option mean?
Thank you,
Dean Guiuan

1. The difference between short and standard is the length of the thigh cuff. The standard is one inch longer than the short.
2. CI stands for Combined Instability. This is the option you would pick if you had an injury to both your ACL and PCL. It gives you an extra thigh strap in the front.

Hi! I had ACL reconstrucive surgery a few months ago. I'm ready to go back to playing hockey and my ortho recommended wearing a knee brace. Would the standard or short calf model be best for me? Or does it even make a difference?
Question by: Jim on Mar 4, 2011, 10:13 AM
Hi Jim,
Most Hockey players will wear a knee ligament brace with a short calf length to avoid pinching between the calf frame and top of the skate. So for comfort reasons I would suggest a short calf frame.
