What Types of Knee Braces Are There? What Do They Do?
- Off-loader braces - help keep arthritic knees walking without pain.
- Protective braces - help prevent injury. These are used mostly in athletes who participate in high-impact sports.
- Rehabilitation braces - help people recover from injuries like ACL tears.
What Can I Expect at My Bracing Assessment?
- We will assess your clinical history and perform a physical evaluation.
- We will tell you if your knee may benefit from the use of a brace.
- If you decide that you wish to proceed with this therapy, we will then fit you for a brace by taking measurements.
- Many measurements will need to be made as your brace is custom-made for your leg.
Once the corrective brace comes in, it’s time to start using it. There may be a “break-in” period as your body gets used to the altered walking mechanics. You might also benefit from therapeutic exercises and stretches! We will go over this with you.
