Knee braces help support and protect the knee and are especially necessary if you have a moderate knee injury where the cartilage or ligaments are damaged. A good knee brace can limit your range of motion, reducing pain and speeding up the healing process. Therefore, it requires better protection than the correct wearing of the knee brakes. To recover completely, you need to get a correct crack to get a real injury recommended by a doctor. This post will give you tips on how to wear a knee brace, how to wear a knee brace comfortably, and how to best protect yourself from future injuries.

How to wear a knee brace?

It sounds so simple, but it can often be the most frustrating part of learning how to wear a knee brace.

1. Select the correct style bracket. • The type and severity of your injury will determine which knee brace is best for you. You can get away with compression sleeves for easy stretching. More severe cracks or breaks may require heavier hinge brackets reinforced with metal or plastic.

• Your doctor will decide which brace is right for your injury.

2. Apply to the affected knee.

• First, wrap the trouser leg so that the straps are in contact with the skin.

• If you have a sliding brace, slide your leg over the top of the brace (the part that extends to fit your thighs) and pull it out from underneath. Push the leg up until the brace rests over the injured knee.

• If you have a wrap-style brace, place the inside of the pad on your knee and wrap the strap around it

3. Place the brace in the center of the patella.

• Most suspensions have small holes that tell you which way to go.

• If the patella is visible through this hole, the brace is correctly placed. It provides maximum comfort and ventilates the skin under the straps.

• Place the loops so that the hole does not pinch or pinch the skin.

• If you want to know how to prevent knee pads from slipping, it's important to make sure they are tight enough to prevent them from sliding up and down before you attach them.

4. After you have correctly attached the buckle, tighten the strap.

• If you have compression sleeves and extra straps, slide them behind the braces and fasten them to the front with Velcro fasteners to keep them in place.

• You should be able to fit one or two fingers into the space between your leg and the brace. If you can’t then the brace needs to be relaxed slightly.
