LIGAMENT BRACES Where Stability Matters
Ligament or ‘Functional’ braces have been utilised by clinicians for decades. In 1984, the AAOS (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons) sponsored a seminar on knee braces and identified 3 key areas of braces: Prophylactic, Functional, and Rehabilitative (ROM style). Ligament braces fall into the ‘Prophylactic’ and ‘Functional’ categories. Their function is to provide stability to the ligaments that have been injured, allowing patients to return to their chosen activity with confidence and help prevent further injury.
These braces vary in their levels of stability. An ‘SK’ style knee brace can be used for low level injuries where patients need very mild support and compression. These require robust materials and ease of fitting to allow for simple everyday use.
Our DonJoy brand has long been regarded the world leader for ligament style braces, with a complete range of braces and supports to meet your needs.
