How to alleviate pain with a knee brace

The knee is the human body's most complex joint. It is comprised of bone and cartilage along with ligaments and other multilayered structures. This increases the opportunities for injury. The elderly experience knee pain throughout the year due to osteoporosis, joint degeneration and other reasons. This kind of pain and limited mobility are common cases in orthopedic clinics. Young people often go to the hospital due to muscle strains around the knee, ligament tears or fractures caused by sports injuries. Of course, traumatic knee fractures accompanied by ligament injuries are also a kind of knee injury.

Elderly people with arthritis mostly rely only on medications, joint brakes, maintaining warmth, knee braces and other symptomatic treatment. Young people with ligament injuries also need joint brakes and knee protection. Others may require arthroscopic surgery if necessary. The rehabilitation exercises for post-surgery fracture patients also require protective assistance and other exercises.

As a result, knee braces are an irreplaceable aspect of post-knee injury recovery.

The knee brace is made from polyester fiber, nylon, spandex and other lightweight, breathable, and comfortable materials. The metal support bar on both sides can bend forwards and supports the knee. However, this bar limits the knee by allowing it to move only laterally. This kind of knee brace doesn't affect knee flexion, has a limited impact on daily life after wearing, and is easily accepted by patients.
