Ordering for every indication and situation?
Not every knee brace is the same and has the same function. There are many different indications for which a knee brace can be used. A small selection of these pathologies are:
- Instability
- Cruciate ligament rupture
- Distortions
- Osteoarthritis / wear
- Patellofemoral pain complaints
- Runners knee
- Jumpers knee
- Etc.
For each indication, there is again a brace that is specifically made for this. On each product page of our knee braces you can find out which indications the braces are suitable for. In addition, it is very easy to determine the correct support class thanks to our support class pointer.
Deployment in a patellofemoral pain complaint
A patellofemoral pain complaint is a pain that arises between the patella (kneecap) and the femur (thigh). This is a common complaint among growing girls. Because the skeleton and soft structures grow at different rates, an imbalance can occur in the patella of the kneecap. A knee brace with an omega pad like the Genutrain P3 or the T-Strap of the Q-Brace provide good support for the kneecap and pain relief from the pain symptoms. Patellofemoral pain can also develop in adults. Osteoarthritis, rheumatism or trauma can cause the cartilage at the back of the kneecap to become irritated, resulting in the same pain complaints. The Genutrain P3 or Q-Brace can also be used for these indications against these specific pain complaints.
Knee brace for osteoarthritis / knee wear
Everyone has to deal with osteoarthritis at a certain age. A common joint in which osteoarthritis can occur is the knee joint. As a result, the knee can swell with moisture, feeling red and warm and causing constant nagging pain. With an elastic knee brace you can support the knee which will make it less painful and give less swelling. During one of our consultation hours you can also get special OA / rigid knee braces for this, which in addition to support also give a position correction of the knee.
A brace during sports
If you already have (had) an injury, a knee brace can be used as a preventive aid for a recurrence. For this, you only wear the knee brace during the sport activity and not during the other activities. During exercise, a knee brace can provide support, prevent moisture from forming in the knee and in some cases the proprioception of special silicone pads provides a massaging and pain-relieving effect.
Some sports in which knee braces are often used for support or prevention are:
Knee brace during winter sports
About 20% of winter athletes sustain an injury, most of which are knee injuries. Of these knee injuries, inner tubes (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament ruptures (ACL) are the most common. Knee injuries are much more common among skiers than snowboarders. There are various causes, but distortions, not breaking loose from ski bindings and poor preparation for winter sports are common and heard causes. In terms of numbers, knee injuries among athletes remain fairly constant, but in proportion to the number of winter sports injuries, knee injuries are seen to increase more and more. An elastic knee brace can make your knee less painful and tired. However, a rigid knee brace can also contribute greatly to the prevention of a new injury and prevent certain directions of movement.
Knee brace and weak / weak muscles: fable or fact?
Many people are afraid that wearing a knee brace makes the muscles ‘weak’. Fortunately, this is a myth. A knee brace from ProBrace is offered as an aid, so you should wear this knee brace when you need it. The knee brace can provide pain relief and support for pain, peak loads (sports, etc.) or long-term loads (long walking / standing, etc.). The muscles around the knee are always stimulated by daily activities. When you have pain in your knee and can move less because of this, the muscle loss will be many times greater.
Rigid or elastic brace
Roughly his knee braces can be divided into three categories.
- Rigid braces
- Elastic braces
- Knee bandages
Rigid braces are made with a sturdy frame, often made of aluminum or carbon. In addition, these braces are always equipped with 1 or 2 hinges to ensure normal freedom of movement of the knee. Rigid knee braces are only used for the most serious injuries and or loads. For example, after a conservative or operative treatment of a cruciate ligament rupture. A good example of a rigid brace is the SecuTec Genu from Bauerfeind.
Elastic braces are, as the name suggests, made of an elastic material. In addition, they are usually equipped with silicone pad (s) and a reinforcement in the form of a (spiral) rib. Elastic knee braces can also be performed with a hinge, but this hinge does not form a rigid connection with the other hinge, as is the case with a rigid brace. Elastic knee braces are sometimes available in a ‘wrap’ model with Velcro fastening, but usually these elastic knee braces are closed in circles and you can put them on like a stocking. The Genutrain of Bauerfeind is an example of a very successful set-elastic brace.
Knee bandages are the entry-level model under the knee braces. Knee bandages have no pads, ribs or hinges. These can be used to keep the knee warm (thermal effect) and can provide light support. A good example of a knee bandage is the Genu Action by Thuasne.
