Abstract
A skin pinch guard is provided to prevent pinching of skin between a boot and the lower portion of a knee brace. The guard includes a pair of fasteners for removably attaching it to the lower cuff of the knee brace. The guard also preferably includes a plurality of fingers which extend into the boot so that the boot slides on the guard.
