What are the different types of knee supports?
Knee supports come in various styles. Common types include:
-
Knee sleeves: Compression sleeves may provide mild support, may help reduce swelling and may support circulation. These are ideal for general discomfort or light activity.
-
Knee stabilisers: Equipped with side stabilisers and added supports, these products offer enhanced lateral stability, particularly for those recovering from ligament injuries.
-
Knee braces: Offering a higher level of support, a knee support brace is commonly used during rehabilitation or to manage chronic conditions. Knee braces often include hinges for added structure.
-
Patella straps: These target specific conditions like patellar tendinitis, offering focused relief below the kneecap.
Each type of knee support is designed for specific needs, so it’s important to choose the one that aligns with your requirements.
Who needs to wear knee support?
Many people find wearing a knee support beneficial, including:
-
Athletes: To manage or assist in the prevention of injuries.
-
Those recovering from injuries: Supports may aid in recovery from sprains, ligament tears or surgeries by stabilising the joint.
-
People with chronic conditions: Those with conditions like osteoarthritis may benefit from added support to reduce strain.
-
Active individuals: Those who experience occasional discomfort or swelling after activity may find compression knee supports helpful.
Always consult a healthcare professional to determine if a knee support is right for you.
Do knee supports help with knee pain and injuries?
Research suggests that knee supports may play a role in managing pain and supporting knee function.
While knee supports may help improve comfort and support mobility, it is important to use them based on the advice of your healthcare professional.
Is there a difference between a knee support and a knee brace?
Yes, there is a distinction between the two.
Knee supports generally refer to compression sleeves or straps that provide mild to moderate support and are often used for everyday discomfort or mild injuries.
Knee braces are structured medical devices, designed to offer advanced support for injuries or chronic conditions. They often include additional features like hinges.
The right one for you depends on the level of support you need. For mild discomfort, a compression sleeve may suffice, while a more serious injury may require the stability of a brace. Ask your healthcare professional for advice on which is right for you.
