Braces & orthotics
Knee braces
Knee braces are orthopedic support devices designed to provide stability, compression, or controlled movement around the knee joint.
They are commonly used by individuals recovering from knee injuries, experiencing joint instability, or managing certain knee-related conditions.
Depending on the design, a knee brace may provide light compression, additional side support, or restrictions on certain movements.
Different styles are available for everyday support, rehabilitation, and activity-related needs. The appropriate type depends on the individual's condition and recommended level of support.
Fit and movement control
Different levels of support
The amount of knee support depends on the brace design.
Prescribed hinge settings
If a hinged brace has been prescribed, its position and movement settings are part of the care plan.
Your fitting instructions
Ask the treating team how to put it on and when to wear it, and leave prescribed hinge settings as instructed.
Checking comfort and condition
Notice rubbing or pressure
Pay attention to rubbing, pressure and changes in skin comfort.
Position and cleaning
Keep the brace in its instructed position and follow the care team's advice for cleaning and skin checks.
When to contact your team
A damaged brace, persistent irritation or a change in leg sensation should be discussed with the treating team.
