What does an upper leg brace do?
An upper leg brace protects the muscles in the upper leg, prevents swelling and improves blood flow. Due to the circular compression, the muscles work more effectively, there is less stress on the muscles and membranes. This is especially true for sports where large shock waves pass through the upper leg, such as running. In addition, the compression increases the vascular pressure, resulting in an improved supply of nutrients and waste disposal.
