Introduction

This blog explores the types and functions of knee braces and walker sticks from Vissco Next. Knee brace provides stabilization, compression, and support for injury prevention and rehabilitation. Vissco Next offers a range of braces and walking aids made from high-quality, lightweight materials to provide specialized orthopedic support.

What is a Knee Brace and its Functions?

A knee brace is worn around the knee joint to provide compression, improve stability, and support proper knee positioning. Knee braces have multiple functions:

Injury Prevention and Protection: Wearing knee braces during sports or strenuous activities protects the knee joint from sudden movements or blows. Braces with hinges or rigid frames prevent hyperextension.
Injury Recovery and Rehabilitation: Doctors recommend wearing a knee brace during early recovery after surgeries like ACL reconstruction or meniscus repair. The brace provides compression to reduce swelling and supports new tissue growth.
Pain Relief: Conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, or a runner’s knee cause knee pain. Elastic knee sleeves provide mild compression and warmth to relieve these pains. Unloader braces redistribute weight from damaged cartilage.

Types of Knee Supports and Braces

Knee support comes in various designs depending on the level of support and stabilization required:

Knee Sleeves: Neoprene sleeves offer mild compression and warmth to relieve arthritis.
Strapped Supports: Use adjustable straps above and below the knee cap for stabilization.
Hinged Braces: Control hyperextension and mediolateral movement. Recommended post-surgery.
Unloader Braces: Shift weight off damaged cartilage to reduce arthritis pain.
