How Does the Knee Support Work?



Knees are the centre of your legs, both literally and in their importance. This central part of the leg is responsible for levying balance in locomotion of the humans. In case of knee injuries, knee issues such as dislocated knee, runner’s knee, bursitis, etc and knee surgery, knee support is needed to provide stability and strength to this core body part in order to heal and recover from damage safely.

There are occasions you should consider getting knee support if,
·         You have a dislocated knee. Knee dislocation requires support from both sides of the knee in order to bring the patella (knee cap) back into place. In order to prevent the problem from aggravating and to provide necessary support to the dislocated knee, knee support in the form of knee sleeves and knee straps can greatly help in the issue.
·         You have had a knee-replacement surgery. Knee-replacement surgery requires careful movement post-surgery, especially as the damaged parts of the knee have been replaced with metal tibial and femur parts, requiring caution and support in movement.
·         
You suffer from patella issues such as patellar tendonitis or patella tracking issues. These issues require you to rest the overused muscles. It helps in relieving the pressure off of the muscles and bones in the knee joint, helping alleviate the problem and aiding in healing.
·         You suffer from instability due to ligament issues. People with weak knees or torn ligaments can greatly benefit from  support as that helps put less pressure on the knee cap, relieving stress on the affected ligaments and muscles.

How do they provide help?


Compression

They  provides compression, enclosing the knee ligaments and muscles in a supporting cushioned design which provides heat and strength to a damaged or injured knee.

Improved Proprioception

Knee support, particularly knee sleeves, set the knee in place firmly. This is especially helpful for patients suffering from arthritis and related issues as the firm grip on the knee joint helps improve their sense of proprioception.

Knee Braces

Knee braces are mostly used by patients recovering from knee surgery or knee dislocation. The fully equipped design of a knee brace acts as a full support system, helping patients stand on their feet.

Knee straps

 Knee straps help in many knee-related issues, particularly patella problems. These can be easily worn to put patella back in place in case of dislocation and to help relieve pressure from the knee cap in case of patellar tendonitis.
 The support is designed to greatly benefit the wearer thanks to the customized designs available. According to the problem you are facing, you can choose from a variety of different support designs available that will help alleviate pain, assist in gaining strength and relieve stress from the ligaments and muscles in order to sustain bone health.
