From ACL to LCL instabilities to patella and arthritis pain, there are a number of knee injuries than can sideline your training and daily activities. However, that are a variety of braces to choose from that can help you recover quickly and prevent re-injuring the hurt knee, whether it be for sports, daily functions, pain reduction or post-surgery.
HINGED
A hinged brace is ideal for athletes who need top-of-line protection and stabilization post-surgery, ACL, MCL or PCL injuries. A bad twist, poor knee to ankle alignment, or wrong way to land are common ways athletes sustain ligament injuries. A hinged brace offers ultimate protection to the athlete’s knee, delivering support and stability to heal quickly. Hinges can prevent hyperextension of the knee and offers protection of the ACL, and other ligament injuries, to athletes who don’t want to lose speed by weighing themselves down with a heavy brace.
Hinged knee braces come in two forms: rigid and soft hinged. Soft hinged knee braces are ideal for mild to moderate support whereas rigid hinged knee braces are ideal for moderate to maximum support and offer better protection and stability for contact-sports.
COMPRESSION/SLEEVES
For mild to moderate chronic knee pain and arthritis can be minimized with sleeves and compression braces. These support braces redistribute the weight-bearing load and increases the ability to perform your best during training and sports, decreasing pain from day-to-day movement, which is no small feat. Can fit under clothing for daily comfort.
WRAPAROUNDS
Wraparound styles for athletes provide bracing solutions for mild to moderate knee pain, patellar instabilities and dislocation. Simple and easy to put on and off, allow you to customize the fit for ultimate comfort and knee protection. Wrap-style bracing can be worn during activity allowing you to focus on your performance without all the bulk-and pain.
BANDS/STRAPS
Treat runner’s knee, patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee) or acute knee pain with strap and band bracing. These are designed to apply a comfortable, effective pressure on the knee to help alleviate pain. Simple to wear (fits under clothing), and easy to put on, straps can be worn during daily activities and sports.
