The DeRoyal Warrior Recovery Knee Immobilizer is a practical market staple for immediate postoperative stabilization, valued for its straightforward aluminum-splint construction, wide straps, and low cost. It lacks the adjustable ROM hinges of the DonJoy, Breg, or Össur models, but its financial advantage and ready availability make it ideal for short-term immobilization, urgent-care settings, or as a disposable/loaner solution. Within the postoperative immobilizer category it represents the budget-conscious choice that still meets basic immobilization requirements without the complexity or expense of hinged systems.

AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill M320
The AlterG M320 Anti-Gravity Treadmill occupies a unique market leader role for postoperative gait and ROM recovery by enabling precise body-weight support using differential air pressure, allowing earlier and safer functional movement retraining. Although it represents a significant capital investment relative to CPMs and even some dynamometers, its technical advantage—progressive partial-weightbearing without assistive harnesses—delivers measurable functional gains and lowers reinjury risk, making it complementary to stationary ROM devices like Biodex and HUMAC. Facilities that treat high volumes of athletes or prioritize accelerated, function-focused return-to-play plans find the AlterG’s outcomes justify the higher upfront cost.
