  • Patent number: 6425166
    Abstract: The present invention provides a strap tab cap for connecting a strap tab to a knee brace wherein the strap tab cap has a very low profile and can rotate within a limited range. The low profile of the strap tab cap reduces the possibility that the knee brace will catch on a foreign object during physical activity. The rotation of the strap tab cap allows the strap to conform more easily to the shape of the user's leg. The strap tab cap is attached to the knee brace with a rivet that extends through a center hole in the strap tab cap. Two posts extend downward from the strap tab cap into slots in the knee brace for limiting the rotation of the strap tab cap and for containing the strap tab in the channels.
