Abstract
Braces having an assembly for exerting a manually adjustable force on a limb of a user are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a brace includes a first frame portion, a second frame portion, a hinge movably coupling the first frame portion to the second frame portion, a flexible member positioned relative to the first and/or second frame portion for exerting a force on the limb of the user, and a tensioning mechanism for manually adjusting a tension in the flexible member to vary the force exerted on the limb of the user. The force exerted by the flexible member is generally independent of the position of the first frame portion relative to the second frame portion.
