Abstract
A fitted hinge brace for supporting a joint that employs a flexible over-molding over hinge arms. The over-molded hinge brace dynamically conforms to the shape of the wearer in real-time, working with the wearer's body to provide comfortable support. The hinge brace includes first and second cuffs with flexible over-molding formed over medial and lateral hinges. The medial and lateral hinges each include a hinge arm and a hinge plate with geared portion. The geared portions of the medial hinge plate of the first cuff fit between the geared portions of the medial hinge plate of the second cuff, and the geared portions of the lateral hinge plate of the first cuff fit between the geared portions of the lateral hinge plate of the second cuff.
