Introduction
You may not know us, but the proFESSIONALS do
For almost 30 years, professional athletes needing injury-prevention and post-op recovery assistance have worn DonJoy braces. Our braces are used by the best champions in over 44 countries
around the globe. This specially selected MX range features knee, wrist, back and foot braces in versatile, off-the-shelf models. DonJoy’s MX braces help prevent the knee from
making unnatural movements to protect the ACL, PCL, medial and lateral ligaments. They also offer extra support and stability to injured knees.
Twice world champion Antonio Cairoli, the best MX rider in history Stefan Everts and 2007 Vice World Champion, Kevin Strijbos, are fitted with DonJoy braces. Stefan Everts is now
team manager of the official KTM team, but he still rides - and wins - races too, while Tony Cairoli is one of the big favourites for the MX1 world title. Tony lost his world title last year due
to a knee injury. He then tested the DonJoy Defiance III braces and immediately chose to ride with them.
MX riders around the world use electrostimulation as an effective and efficient method to improve their training.
Originally, electrostimulation was mostly used by physiotherapists to develop specific groups of muscles during
rehabilitation. Rapidly athletes started using that same technique on healthy muscles to complement and
enhance their overall training performance.
Antonio Cairoli
The operating principle of electrostimulation is very simple and faithfully reproduces the processes involved in
muscle contraction controlled by the brain. Electrostimulation is also often used to reinforce muscle, speed up
and improve muscle recovery after intensive training or competition and has been successfully used for ‘Arm
Pump’ Phenomenon, a condition commonly suffered by MX riders.
A PRODUCT for every joint and injury
Statistics on Motocross injuries show that not only the knee, but also the shoulder, wrist, elbow and ankle joints are frequently injured. There is
no need to tell you how quickly a great start to the season can turn into a nightmare in just a few seconds…a bad fall makes the line between
success and failure very thin! DonJoy and Compex are aware of this and have developed over the years a full range of premium quality
products in answer to the high demands of athletes; products that help you reach your goals. This Motorsport Catalogue features a selection of
our top quality functional products, these products have been tried and tested by athletes and their medical professionals and are designed to
help prevent and treat injury. Your safety and health is our concern! We want you to trust your body, trust your instinct and trust our gear… so
go for the protection DonJoy and Compex can offer you!
Talk back
We count you among a growing group of friends we depend on to stay on top of our game. Friends we can share with and learn from. So if
you have an idea about how we can do better, speak up, we’re listening. Extensive research and development has been the hallmark of our
company for the last 30 years and just like you, we plan on staying in the game.

DonJoy® and Compex® AT the MX GRAND PRIX
DJOmotorsports.com is now live! Not only can this new website be used to buy all of your DonJoy and Compex
products, it is also packed with useful information including detailed product specs, up-to-date news, stories,
downloads and much more.
For several years, DonJoy has been supplying the world’s leading riders with a range of Bracing and Support
products that have kept many MX World Champions in the game. Bracing has become an essential part of the
rider’s safety gear and is considered by riders like the new face of DJO, Antonio Cairoli, as important as their
helmet, boots, goggles and gloves.
Every enthusiast knows either from experience, or from any injured competitor, the extreme pressure faced by
riders especially on their knees, arms, feet, ankles and back joints. Every rider knows just how quickly a great start
to the season can turn into a nightmare in just a few seconds… a bad fall makes the line between success and
failure very thin!
THE DJO MX BOOTH
DJO RIDER steve Ramon
A number of reasons explain why amateur riders and enthusiasts have often been unable to go “hands-on” with
the very products that have kept the professionals in the seat. This year, paddock watchers will notice that they can
visit the DJO booth in the centre of the Paddock Village at each GP. There, they can examine examine, try on and be
professionally fitted with the bracing that has kept many professionals on the track.
In addition, Compex, another great DJO brand is making its MX debut and introducing its electrostimulation
products. Everyone is welcome to meet the Compex physiotherapist team, to discuss their personal requirements
and test the products in a real physiotherapy environment.
The pros are included too. This year, for the first time, DJO is providing ‘Rider Support’ at a limited number of MX
Grand Prix.

4-Points-of-Leverage™
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR AN
ACL 4-POINT BRACE
4-POINTS-OF-LEVERAGE™
Since 1984, DonJoy’s goal has
been to revolutionise orthopaedic
bracing. Through the 4-Pointsof-Leverage™ rigid cuff and strap
configuration, a posterior force
is applied to the tibia preventing
anterior movement of the tibia.
POINT 1
The femur is anchored
by a cuff placed at the
top of the anterior thigh.
The 4-Points-of-Leverage™ design is
used on the Defiance®, Defiance III®,
Female Fource™, Armor, 4Titude®
and Legend™ braces.
UNIQUE INTEGRATION
SYSTEM
The centre of the hinge is just
posterior to the midline and just
superior to the joint line. This
allows points 1 and 3 to compress
soft tissue, isolating the femur and
bringing it forward. Points 2 and 4
draw the tibia posterior, generating
a net differential force, or constant
load, directly over the tibia,
preventing it from moving forward.
POINT 3
A strap across the
back of the lower
thigh pushes the
femur anteriorly.
POINT 2
The tibia is anchored by a
cuff placed at the bottom
of the posterior calf.
POINT 4
A strap placed on the anterior
tibia applies an active constant
load, to prevent anterior tibial
translation.
For a correct fit of your DonJoy brace
follow these 6 simple steps:

Fitting Guide / ACL

What is an ACL injury to the knee?
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly injured knee ligament.
The ACL controls how far forward the tibia moves in relation to the femur (see
diagram) and if the tibia moves too far, the ACL can tear. The ACL is also
the first ligament that becomes tight when the knee is straight so if the knee
is forced past this point, or hyperextended, the ACL can also be torn.
1
The ACL is often injured during high action sports activities such as motocross
when the athlete suffers a direct blow, a twisting motion or hyperextension. For
example, the hyperextension and twisting mechanisms can occur when a motocross
rider catches his/her foot in a corner. The tearing of the ligament results in a
loud popping sound and the feeling of instability in the knee. Often the medial
collateral ligament (MCL) and the ACL are injured at the same time.
2
Position centre of the hinge one finger width above the
top of the knee cap. Then close straps 1 and 2
Bring the hinge Posterior
Why do I need my Anterior Cruciate Ligament?
3
The ACL stabilises the knee and the instability caused by the torn ligament leads
to a feeling of insecurity or “giving way” of your knee, especially when trying to
change direction. People with a torn ACL will feel instability when walking down
hills or stairs, cutting/pivoting, starting and stopping quickly and when their knee
is in full extension. The knee may also feel like it can bend too far backwards.

Tighten the Anterior Tibial Strap. Hinge can be moved
forward but should not go beyond midline
Tighten the Posterior Thigh strap
5
The symptoms following a tear of the ACL are not always exactly the same in
severity for all people. Typically, you will experience swelling of the knee within a
short time following the injury. This swelling is due to bleeding into the knee joint
from torn blood vessels in the damaged ligament. The pain and swelling from the
initial injury will usually go away after a few weeks, but the instability remains.
This physical instability and the inability of the patient to control the knee require
treatment. Many people have the instability treated by orthopaedic surgery to
reconstruct the ligament to increase the stability of the knee and prevent
damage to the joint.

Defiance III®
When it comes to protecting children, only
the best is good enough.
Did you know that the custom-made DonJoy Defiance
brace can be fitted on children from the age of 10-11
years old?
This custom made knee brace guarantees a perfect
fit and the highest level of protection any young rider
can ask for. The DonJoy Defiance III is adapted to
specific motocross requirements thanks to the use of
an impact guard that also covers the upper part of
the tibia and fibula. Thanks to its slim fit the Defiance
works well under motocross trousers and it doesn’t
interfere with the boots.
The young rider’s comfort is assured by chamois or
textile liners that also absorb moisture.
Because of its construction, the Defiance III prevents
the knee from making unnatural movements. It
protects ACL, PCL, medial and lateral ligaments and is
the best possible way of preventing knee injuries. The
Defiance braces also offer extra support and stability
to injured knees.

Thanks to the thin construction of the hinges, young
riders can remain in contact with the bike's frame
and the reservoir and maintain control over their bike
just like they would when riding without braces; only in
this case they have maximum protection against knee
injuries. For children prevention is better than any cure.
They also get to choose from a wide variety of colours
for their Defiance, so the brace not only matches the
young rider’s motocross gear but also meets his or her
personal preferences. After all, why shouldn’t riding in
safety and looking stylish go hand in hand?

Cold Therapy
Dura*Soft® Cold therapy
DuraSoft offers a variety of segmented, body-conforming pillows, containing a
unique blend of water combined with a non-toxic soft gel. When frozen, the water
pillows provide long term cold at safe temperatures. The suppleness of the pillows
enables superior coverage, compression and comfort for cold applications.
DuraSoft inserts are “user friendly” for both the practitioner and the patient.
The inserts may be removed from the nylon wraps for easy refreezing.
Storage space requirements are reduced due to the malleability plus the
size of the inserts. Continuous icing is possible with multiple inserts. Keep
an extra insert in the freezer while one is being applied.

Muscle Stimulation
Electrostimulation
Athletes and MX riders all over the world widely use Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) as an
effective and efficient method to help prevent arm pump, to build muscle mass, for muscle
rehabilitation or as pain relief without side effects.
It is a natural technique that can help you enhance overall training performance.
The Compex Stimulators will enable you to increase the length of your training
sessions, enhance training quality and improve recovery.
Compex Stimulators are used by many of the worlds best riders,
these include Antonio Cairoli, Steve Ramon, Stefan Everts,
Kevin Strijbos and many more.

Compex mi Sport
Is Electrostimulation useful for MX?
Electrostimulation is a natural technique that can help you enhance overall
training performance. The Compex Stimulator will enable you to increase
the length of your training sessions, enhance training quality and improve
recovery. However, it is important to continue your usual training programme
including cardio-vascular development in order to reach your targets.
Which programmes are best for MX riders?
If you are preparing for your MX season, relevant programmes include:
• Developing strength in your quadriceps, this programme might also be
used on your gluteus muscles, as well as the flexor in the wrist and fingers
• Performing active recovery after intense training and racing
Why do you need to recover after a competition?
Physical effort creates muscle fatigue. While a good balance between training sessions
and recovery can improve performance overtraining could do the reverse.
What are the benefits of the active recovery programme?
Firstly, it produces an increase in blood flow which accelerates the elimination of lactic acid
(waste from muscular contraction). Secondly, the programme helps increase endorphin
production which helps relieve muscular pain (= analgesic effect). Finally, the programme
has a relaxing effect which helps decrease muscular tension.
You can also use the TENS programme on the Compex in order to relieve muscular pain when
required.

Good luck for the season!

ARM PUMP
It may not be an injury known to everyone, but Motocross riders around the world are very familiar with what has become known as “ARM PUMP”.
Arm Pump is a compartment syndrome overuse type injury. As the majority of Motocross injuries are traumatic in nature, it appears that little attention has been paid to this distressing and often very painful condition.
Arm Pump results from the complex hand and wrist co-ordination required to control a high powered motorcycle. When you grip something in your hand there is multiple contraction between the muscle groups on the back (dorsal) and
front (volar) of the forearm. To generate a stronger grip, the wrist is pulled into extension. This co-contraction results in an increase in compartment pressure i.e. it is harder for the blood to flow through this region. Also the drainage of the
waste products, such as lactate, becomes increasingly inefficient. Thus to simply grip a handlebar increases pressure. To grip the handlebar of a rapidly
accelerating or decelerating motorcycle necessitates stronger grip levels. If you then add the throttle action, which uses the dorsal
wrist extensors more than the volar wrist flexors, then add the clutch and brake levers, which use the volar
finger flexors, the complex nature of this injury starts to become apparent.
Not only does “Arm Pump” occur in Motocross, but it is becoming
increasingly common at the higher levels of kite surfing, water and
jet skiing where inevitably European and World Championships
require greater levels of repeated practice and competition.
MUSCLES AFFECTED BY ARM PUMP
Dorsal
Volar
The Compex device helps reduce the muscle swelling and
compression by using specific stimulation programmes that help
relax the muscles and stimulate the blood supply to almost four to
seven times its normal flow. This stimulated blood supply allows a
better drainage and supply of oxygen. This is a painless treatment of
20 to 30 minutes directly after exercise or competition. The device
also has specific programmes to encourage endorphin production
to help relieve pain.

THE
:
The mi-SENSOR forms an interactive link between the muscle and the
stimulator. It measures certain physiological characteristics of the muscle to be
stimulated, analyses them and adjusts the stimulation parameters to suit each
patient. It can be used on the 4 channels and requires no further set-up work
since it operates in the same way as a conventional stimulation cable.
THE 4 Mi FUNCTIONS:
: A personal touch
Since minimising the electrical energy makes treatments more comfortable
and efficient, this function uses the sensor to determine and tailor the optimal
stimulation parameters to each patient and for each session.
: Involving the patient
Since combined active exercise allows you to better incorporate electrotherapy in
your treatment protocols, minimal muscular activity in the worked area allows the
patient to voluntarily trigger stimulation.
: Self-regulating pain therapy
Since managing the Gate control dosage involves maintaining energy at the level
required to obtain intense tingling sensations, the sensor continuously controls
and adjusts the stimulation energy to eliminate unwanted contractions.
: Controlling energy
Since there is an optimal therapeutic benefit energy level with low-frequency
programmes (endorphin, contracture type), mi-RANGE indicates the minimum and
maximum energy levels to the user.

DonJoy and Compex products are used worldwide by many professional riders from all types of motorcycle sport. Here are just a few of the
professional riders who use DonJoy and Compex products to help them achieve great results.
Antonio cairoli
10 Times World Champion
“Compex electrostim helps me prepare my muscles,
it’s a vital part of training for me. I still want to
arrive at the races as focused as possible but I
do not have time to train intensively everyday.
Compex helps me to train in an optimal way, I
really like that. Regarding DonJoy knee braces,
there is no way you should compromise on safety.
They give the best support you can get and
preventing an injury beats recovering from an
injury every time….”
MX1
Double World Champion
Antonio Cairoli is one of the most talented riders ever. The double world champion
motocross rider has a spectacular style and impressive speed. He won the MX2
world title in 2005 and 2007. 2008 looked like it was going to be Antonio’s year
again, but a knee injury sidelined him during mid season. After he had
an ACL operation, Tony The Tiger was super motivated to get back
where he belongs: at the top.
“It’s not easy to regain confidence after a major injury”,
says Antonio. “My knee was badly hurt and the most
frustrating thing was that at the moment of the injury, I
was wearing knee braces. I thought I was protected, but
obviously I wasn’t.”
When the double world champ got back on the
bike, he hooked up with DonJoy knee braces.
Cairoli opted for the fit and security of a Defiance
brace. “Riding with other braces is no longer an
option for me”, says the Sicilian. “I’ve experienced
the difference and this is a very clear choice, for
me it’s safety first now. I have experienced how a
major injury can set you back. It’s a mechanical
and very fast sport, you can never rule out an
injury but it’s clear you have to protect yourself
as good as you can. Nobody goes riding
without a helmet, neither do I, but I’m not
getting on the bike again without my DonJoy
Defiances - they give me support at a level that
no other brace can, I feel safe wearing them and
in a sport where confidence is key, that’s a very
important feeling.”
With the help of the DonJoy Defiance knee
braces, Antonio Cairoli has got back up to
speed. He has moved up to the MX1 class,
riding against the fastest riders in the world
on the biggest and most powerful bikes.

“Electrostimulation makes a lot of difference in
recuperation, warm up and general preparation
of the body. It also helps when you’re dealing
with injuries. I’m very lucky that I haven't had to
experience that element yet. So far my season has
been good, I think a good physical preparation also
helps prevent a lot of injuries. That’s why Compex is
so important for me. I feel I’m better prepared than I
ever was and I remain healthy.”
Steve Ramon
MX1
MX1 World Champion
“I take my training very seriously. My personal
trainer Yves De Meulemeester and myself have been
very enthusiastic about working with Compex.
It has become a part of my training programme.
Compex helps me recuperate quicker after training
and after races and it helps to avoid Arm Pump.
While I had to stop riding and training due to my
neck injury, Compex was a fantastic help to keep
the muscles in the rest of my body going. It was a
big help in overcoming this injury.”

Team FMX4Ever
speedway
Team FMX4Ever has been around for five years. In that short period of time the crew of team
owner and founder Jimmy Verburgh has established itself quite a reputation in freestyle
motocross. The Belgium based team is now the biggest European freestyle team and one of the
few professional teams worldwide. Team members include ex European motocross champion
Jimmy Verburgh, IFMA European freestyle champion Nick Franklin, South African champion
Nick De wit, German champion Toby Immler, British champions Chris Birch and Kris Brock and
US top riders Mike Mason and Ronnie Renner. Many of the riders are also medalists at Red Bull
X-Fighters, the Olympics of freestyle MX. This very colourful and successful international group
competes in all major events throughout Europe, Asia and the US.
”Speedway is an extreme sport where the riders are very close to each other. The start of a race is very important, so everyone
gives all they have in the first bend. Sometimes this causes a crash. Safety and self confidence means everything in speedway – if
you don’t feel you are well protected, you can’t do your best in a race. Wearing my knee braces gives me a feeling of safety and I
know I have done what I can to protect my knees in the best
possible way. With Armor from DonJoy® you get the best
possible design and protection.”
Freestyle motocross is a very spectacular and extreme sport that holds some risks. Team
FMX4Ever have chosen DonJoy® because they feel the Defiance® brace offers the best protection
there is.
“Many other manufacturers produce braces based on a motocross background. DJO™ has an
expertise in the production of medical supports and braces which comes in very useful when entering
the sports world with injury preventative braces. That is a major advantage and guarantee for true
protection and not just a feeling of being protected”, says team boss Verburgh.
“All my riders in my team with or without ACL problems rely on DonJoy® Defiance® braces from now
on. The risks the riders take in Freestyle MX are significant and therefore the
best protection is important for us.
Moreover, with the worldwide network DJO™ has, we are
having the best medical care ever. DJO™ has strong
relationships with the key opinion leaders all over
the world and in this short period we have
been working with DJO™ they have helped
some of our riders to come under the
care of the best medical professionals
in whatever country they live in. For
us DJO™ is a “Partner to Gold!”

Defiance III®
Knee injuries are a common problem in speedway. Every season, Bjarne Pedersen participates in
115 professional speedway races around the world. Since 2004, he has been using ARMOR braces
on both legs to protect his knees.
”In 2006 I was participating in one of my Grand Prix
Matches in England and I was part of a crash in the first
bend, hitting the fence at high speed. Without doubt,
I would have had a serious knee injury if I hadn’t
worn Armor knee braces. Thanks to my braces I
could continue the race and I ended up being 3rd,
a very important result competing for the World
Championship.”
