While there are hundreds of different knee support products out there, all with slight variations geared to helping patients with specific problems, there are general classifications that you can explain to patients before making a particular recommendation.The four main knee braces to briefly outline with patients are:
(1) prophylactic braces, designed with the aim of preventing knee injuries. They are mostly used in sports like rugby or basketball in which there is frequent bodily contact with other players.
(2) then functional braces, which support knees that are already injured.
(3) rehabilitative braces, which restrict potentially harmful movements of the knee during the recovery period after either surgery or an injury.
(4) unloader or offloader braces, which provide relief from conditions like knee arthritis.
