Description

A knee brace is a specialized device made from various materials such as neoprene, elastic fabric, or rigid materials like metal or plastic. It is designed to fit around the knee and provide support to the joint.

Knee braces come in different types and styles, including sleeves, wraparound braces, hinged braces, or patella stabilizers. Each type offers specific features and benefits depending on the user’s needs and the severity of the knee condition.

The knee brace is typically adjustable and secured with straps, closures, or fasteners, such as Velcro straps or buckles. This allows for a customizable and secure fit, accommodating different knee sizes and shapes.

The main functions of a knee brace include providing stability to the knee joint, reducing pain and discomfort, limiting excessive movement, and protecting the knee from further injury or strain.

Knee braces may feature additional support structures like metal or plastic stays, hinges, or patella pads. These elements provide extra stability, prevent sideways or rotational movements, and offer targeted support to specific areas of the knee.

Knee braces are commonly used during sports activities, exercise, or daily movements that involve the knee. They provide moderate to firm support, alleviate pain associated with conditions like ligament sprains, strains, arthritis, or post-surgery recovery.
