Over the last decade there have been many improvements in custom knee braces. Braces used to be bulky, ineffective, and ugly contraptions that would continuously slide down and they came in one colour, black. Thankfully that is no longer the case.

There are different categories of knee braces that are designed for utmost comfort, support, stability and safety.
The categories of knee braces are:
- The Patellofemora knee brace, to keep the knee cap in its proper place and to hold the patella. The knee cap is held firmly with a strap and allows the knee to move safely.
- The functional braces specifically used to treat the sports injuries, after surgery, in case of MCL (medial collateral ligament), LCL (lateral collateral ligament), ACL, PCL (anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments).
- Unloader braces are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, knee joint pain, stability. The hinges on the unloader brace serve to reduce friction and support joints.
When our registered physiotherapists diagnose and recommends a knee brace, the following conditions are considered:
- The selection of the brace will depend on the kind of knee injury, such as to treat ligament strains, osteoarthritis, meniscal damage, and general knee pain.
- It is important to choose the right type of knee braces. A brace used by runners for ligament strain is definitely different from a ligament strain brace used by a basketball player.
- The treatment time period, such as how much and for how long a person can wear braces will definitely depend on the injury and severity of pain.
