The present application describes a strap tab cap assembly (10) for connecti ng a strap tab (30) to an article, such as a knee brace frame (70). The assembl y (10) includes a strap tab cap (20) disposed over a washer (40) having two upwardly extending flanges (44). A bushing (50) and fastening member (60) ar e provided for rotatably coupling the strap tab cap (20) to the knee brace fra me (70) . However, the washer (40) is rotatably fixed with respect to the knee brace frame (70) . The flanges (44) on the washer (40) limit the rotation of the strap tab cap (20) with respect to the knee brace frame (70). The washer also protects the knee brace frame from wear during rotation of the strap ta b (30). The assembly (10) is very durable and is resistant to becoming disassembled during normal use, but includes field replaceable components fo r easy repair.
