Knee Braces are used for a number of ailments. Since the knee is a complex joint in the body. There are many types of knee injuries that can occur.
Ligament tears, patella tracking issues, knee cap pain, anterior knee pain, cartilage issues and many more. We have a full-line up of knee braces for knee injuries. Many people also suffer from knee pain during their life. Knee orthotics or knee braces are most commonly used for sports related injuries, post operative stabilization and osteoarthritis of the knee.
Knee braces offer support and stability to a previous injury, help alleviate aches and soreness in the joints, and prevent injury while participating in athletics. By assisting with movement of the joint, knee supports alleviate unnecessary stress and make common movements easier.
There are also braces that are designed for athletes that are recovering from serious ligament (ACL, MCL) injuries or from surgery. These braces are designed to be anatomically correct for each leg and fit appropriately to stabilize specific ligaments. We have an extensive line of knee braces that are individually tailored to relieve stress on the ACL, MCL, PCS for both rehabilitation and athletic performance or individual knee pain. Post operative knee braces are most commonly used following reconstruction of the knee surgeries. A post operative knee brace provides controlled range motion varying from 15 degrees to 120 degrees (flexion/extension). These braces can be fixed at a degree level (restricting further motion) in accordance with a physician or physical therapists order.
Osteoarthritis knee braces are most commonly used as a non operative for older patient’s suffering from severe osteoarthritis. This is a compartmental brace that offloads the part of the knee causing severe pain from inflammation.
