Hinged Knee Braces
Hinged Knee Braces
Hinged knee braces include braces that mainly stabilize the knee in the medial and lateral plane. They help with medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) instabilities, tears and sprains.
There are wrap around designs and sleeve designs. Wrap around designs are easier to put on and give a bit of compression. The sleeve braces are a bit more difficult to put on but give some more compression. The higher the cost, the more support and quality of the brace allowing more use before the brace starts to wear out. Not sure which brace will work, feel free to ask one of our physiotherapists for advice.
