An orthopedic device includes an orthopedic frame, a strap system
connected to and depending from the frame and arranged to secure to a
limb or joint of a wearer, and a bladder system connected to the strap
system. The bladder system has a bladder positioned on the strap system
and is arranged between the strap system and the limb or joint of the
wearer. The orthopedic device may also include a load cell device
connected to the strap system and arranged to monitor pressure exerted on
the limb or joint of the wearer, and a tightening mechanism connected to
the load cell and arranged to adjust the pressure of the strap system in
response to a pressure reading from the load cell. The bladder system and
the load cells supplement the strap system to provide for more dynamic
support to the limb or joint of the wearer.
