Ride restrictions with a leg brace on?

[nkereina]

DH will be wearing a partial leg brace on our trip next week while he recovers from an injured ligament in his knee. He has full range of motion and can walk normally with it on. He does not anticipate any issues with going on any rides, but I wanted to inquire whether he'd be prohibited from going on any rides? Will any CMs stop him about the leg brace? Just want to know what to expect. Thanks!

Depending on size of the brace he may have issues getting the leg restraints on FoP to close completely.

I thought the same. If he has full range of motion I don't think anything should cause problems with the exception of FoP, which has a rather unique restraint system from what I have seen. He may have some difficulty getting out of some of your lower sitting rides, like Space Mountain. I doubt it'd be too problematic, but he might need a hand.

Thanks for the replies. We'll keep those rides in mind. Anything he wouldn't be allowed to ride on due to the brace?

I do not believe there would be anything disallowed as long as he can fit into the seat and the restraints properly.

I assume you are not considering the water parks, as that is the only place where I do believe something like that would actually be disallowed by Disney on all of the slides. I imagine that's a no-go for him anyway.

My DH has terrible knee problems and he wears a large, hinged brace when we are at Disney and he has never had any problems with any rides. We haven't been yet this year, so he hasn't tried FOP yet though.

Disney doesn't have any issues with braces or casts etc.

Universal does, as I believe you know, but not Disney. (Except maybe wsterparks)
