Immobilization Knee Braces

An immobilizer knee support is made to hold your knee in neutral position, just like a cast would. But unlike a cast, knee immobilization braces can be removed for temporary treatment, wash,  itch-relief, also lightweight. These braces are usually made of neoprene foam and cloth. The immobilization is created by wrapped metal bands that makes the brace rigid. These bands gently but firmly hold your knee in place so that you don't have to worry about movement during the healing process. Leg knee Immobilization braces are best for serious knee injury protector insteading of a plaster cast.

Hinged Knee Braces

A hinged knee brace is an interesting compromise design that provides both rigidity and mobility. Hinge knee braces are built to allow your knee to swing safely forward and back in the optimal track without putting your knee at risk of harmful insecure movements. Hinge braces provide the most structural support and rigid protection of your knee while still allowing you to walk and even exercise within the bounds of normal healthy knee movements. Hinge braces are useful for a number of injuries and long-term knee conditions.

Compression Knee Braces

Compression braces are by far the most popular and commonly used. This is because they are useful for such a wide variety of conditions, injuries and prevention purposes. A compression brace is essentially a stretchy shaped cylinder of padded neoprene. As a knee brace, it may have a wider or softer area for your kneecap or a whole for the kneecap allowing for greater mobility. The neoprene knee wraps keep your knee warm, relaxing the tissue and promoting blood flow which speeds up healing. So knee compression braces are often used as a tool for injury prevention. They can provide a small amount of additional support to a weakened joint and serve as a tangible reminder to be careful with your form during exercise and work efforts.

Strap and Band Braces

Knee pain can come from a large number of causes. It could be related to the kneecap, the muscles around the knee, a bad bruise, a tendon sprain, or a mechanical malfunction inside the structure of the knee. One issue that is most common with younger athletes is patellar tendonitis. This is an injury to the tendon that connects the kneecap to the patella (shin bone).In this case , you may not need a full wrapping brace. A patellar strap or band is designed to put gentle supportive pressure on the space between your patella and your kneecap, easing the tension on the healing tendon. This can simultaneously ease the pain you experience when bending and extending your leg.



Wrap-Around Knee Braces

After the compression brace, wrap-around braces are made of rigid cloth and plastic, sometimes braced with padded metal bands on the inside. Rather than being a continuous ring like a compression brace, a wrap-around brace opens on one side, allowing you to fasten the brace around the knee and tighten it to the configuration you prefer most. A wrap-around brace is also a good training tool for preventing additional injury to a knee. If you have a history of injuries or feel that your knee is weak to injury, a wrap-around brace can provide additional support to prevent your knee from hyper-extending or twisting to the side.

Padded Knee Brace

Finally, some knee pain comes not from standing pressure, but pressure that occurs while kneeling. There are a number of activities like gardening, home maintenance, and child care that involve kneeling and sitting on your knees for several hours a day. If often experience knee pain while kneeling, the ideal solution may be a pair of padded knee braces rather than compression or hinged braces.Pads can also be added to other braces if kneeling is a concern to an existing knee problem. This means that almost any kind of knee brace can be turned into a padded knee brace. Or you can find a pair of knee braces that offer the support you need to get up and down as well as pads to make your time kneeling easier.

  • What is Hip orthotic fixator

  • A: Hip orthotic fixator is a medical device that can be worn externally. The purpose of its design is to stabilize, control, or correct affected body parts. Orthopedic fixators are decided by doctors after diagnosis, and doctors usually consult with prosthetic professionals to choose the appropriate instrument. They will choose the type of hip orthotic fixator based on your diagnosis and actual symptoms. The hip abduction orthopedic fixator has an abduction pad that can restrict certain modes of movement and increase stability when walking, standing, or sitting. If the hip orthopedic fixator cannot solve your stability problem, you may need to wear a hip knee orthopedic fixator or a hip knee ankle foot orthopedic fixator (HKAFO). Hip protectors have lower limitations than hip orthotic fixators. They are made of high elasticity or semi elasticity materials. But they still have a stabilizing effect because they compress the hip joint and slightly restrict it. Hip protectors are commonly used to reduce joint pressure, which can alleviate existing discomfort and serve as a preventive measure. Hip orthotic fixators are mainly used to treat acute pain or discomfort, or to treat hip dislocation. Hip abduction orthodontic fixators are commonly used for infantile cerebral palsy (ICP). This disease can affect the nervous and muscular systems of the body, often accompanied by spasmodic contractions, causing the patient to cross their legs ("scissor gait"). The abduction pad in the hip orthopedic fixator can prevent the user from crossing the knee joint and provide stability to the patient during standing and sitting, while also stabilizing the gait pattern. Hip orthotic fixators are also beneficial for patients who use wheelchairs temporarily or for a long time. The integrated pad can expand the seating contact surface without the need for a separate abductor. Special orthopedic fixators and protectors can help infants with hip dysplasia, acetabular malformations, or developmental disorders. And these diseases mainly occur because the baby lacks space in the uterus or is in an unsuitable position. However, developmental dysplasia of the hip joint can be treated. Hip orthotic fixators can align joints in their normal positions, allowing them to develop and mature normally.

  • Ankle external fixation braces for foot injury or sprain

  • A: Ankle sprain is the most common sports injury disease, and many types of injuries can occur after sprain, including ligament injury or rupture, fracture and dislocation, joint cartilage injury, tendon injury or rupture, etc. If there is minor ligament damage, conservative ankle external fixation  braces or plaster support can be used for treatment. Ankle joint fixation braces can inhibit tendon injuries and promote the recovery of fracture injuries. Ankle joint rehabilitation splints usually have a local fixation effect, which can reduce the pressure on ligaments and promote the recovery of ligament injuries. At the same time, it can promote the growth of injured bones, prevent dislocation of fractures, and thus shorten the recovery time of fractures. The function of ankle foot supports and braces includes stabilizing the ankle joint, controlling the range of motion, and reducing pain, swelling, etc. 1. Stable ankle joint Compression Wraptor Ankle braces provide additional stability by wrapping and compressing the ankle joint, reducing the risk of ankle sprains and lateral ligament injuries. 2. Control the range of motion Ankle braces can limit the range of motion of the ankle joint, preventing excessive forward and backward swinging and lateral rotation. 3. Reduce pain and swelling Ankle braces, through appropriate compression and local pressure dispersion, help alleviate pain and swelling in the ankle joint. In summary, the main function of ankle fracture braces is to provide appropriate fixation and immobilization treatment for the damaged ankle joint, in order to avoid adverse consequences such as displacement of the fracture end. Wearing foot braces for protection can reduce swelling of the affected limb, prevent secondary injuries caused by movement, and promote wound recovery. In clinical applications, braces are generally used in ankle fractures where there is no displacement or the fracture segment is relatively stable. Ankle Fixed braking treatment can also be performed in the early stage after surgical treatment. When wearing braces, attention should be paid to the tightness to avoid being too tight or too loose. At the same time, during fixation, the affected limb should be kept at an appropriate height to promote blood circulation and lymphatic return. Patients should seek medical attention in a timely manner, receive targeted treatment and treatment, and wear braces according to medical advice. If itching occurs during use, it is necessary to observe for sterile inflammation.More infomation about orthopedic braces, you can enter https://www.huakangortho.com/.
