BraceX is an actuated knee brace that enables eccentric exercises to be done anywhere, remotely monitored by their PT. An effective program of lengthened-state eccentric exercises has demonstrated a 0% hamstring re-injury rate at a 2-year follow-up.
Isokinetic systems allow patients to complete eccentric exercises but the equipment takes up a lot of space and can cost $40,000 to $60,000.
Non-equipment methods often require a strong partner and only reduce hamstring injury by 51%. Other exercises are difficult to do with enough force and physical therapists cannot confirm that patients are doing them correctly at home.

Eccentric contraction is the most effective type of muscle contraction for building strength and preventing injury or re-injury. It occurs when the force applied to a muscle is greater than the force the muscle generates, leading to increased muscle mass, strength, flexibility, and power. This type of training is more effective than others in improving function and reducing the risk of re-injury.
BraceX is an actuated knee brace that enables eccentric exercises to be performed anywhere, improving access to lengthened-state eccentric exercise.
