Knee Brace FAQ

What Are Knee Braces Used For?

A knee brace is a specialized orthopedic device designed to provide support and alleviate a variety of knee conditions. There are different types of knee braces available, each suited for specific needs:

Knee Supports & Sleeves: Best for general knee pain and minor injuries, offering compression and warmth.

Patella Braces: Created to provide focused support for patellar issues, reducing pain and improving stability.

Stabilising Knee Braces: Provide enhanced stability for moderate to severe knee instability, helping to prevent further injury.

Range of Motion/Post-Op Braces: Assist in recovery after surgery by allowing controlled movement or immobilizing the knee.

Osteoarthritis Knee Braces: Specifically designed to relieve discomfort from osteoarthritis and support joint health.

 

When Should I Wear a Knee Brace?

A knee brace can be used for both prevention and treatment. Some individuals wear a brace to help prevent injuries, particularly if they have a history of knee problems. Others may need a brace to support the joint while ligaments and soft tissues heal.

Do Knee Braces Actually Work?

Yes, knee braces are effective for a range of common knee injuries and conditions, offering support and relief. They are particularly useful for managing sprains, strains, patellar instability, post-surgery recovery, and osteoarthritis. While outcomes can differ from person to person, many people experience pain reduction and improved healing with the use of a knee brace.

What Does a Knee Sleeve Do?

Knee sleeves function by providing gentle compression and added stability to the joint. This compression helps support the knee, reduces swelling, and encourages better blood circulation, which can assist in the healing process.

Which Knee Brace is right for me?

Healthcare professionals, including orthotists, physiotherapists, and GPs, evaluate patient needs to recommend the most suitable knee brace.

How Long Should You Wear a Knee Brace?

The length of time you should wear a knee brace varies based on individual factors and goals. If you’re wearing a knee sleeve for prevention, you may only need it during physical activity. However, if you’re using a knee brace for injury treatment, it may be necessary to wear it until the injury has fully healed.

How to put on a Knee Brace?

  1. Make sure both your knee and the brace are clean and dry.
  2. Slide the brace up your leg, aligning it with your kneecap.
  3. Secure any straps from bottom to top, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight.
  4. Adjust for comfort and ensure the brace feels secure.
  5. Test mobility by bending and straightening your knee.
  6. Double-check all straps and closures for a secure fit.
  7. Always refer to the instructions provided with your brace, and consult a healthcare professional if necessary.
