Braces for the knee
The knee is one of the body’s most heavily used joints and is especially prone to injury among athletes. With age, the knee becomes more vulnerable and osteoarthritis becomes common. A knee brace can help relieve pain and provide preventive support.
We offer a range of high-quality knee braces made by recognized specialists. Preventive and therapeutic braces can reduce pain and limit the risk of injury while providing appropriate support for the knee joint.
Adapted to your needs
A knee brace can provide preventive support and be used during rehabilitation after an injury to relieve pain, including pain related to knee osteoarthritis.
Knee braces for osteoarthritis
A brace for an osteoarthritic knee provides additional support and stabilization. Osteoarthritis can weaken ligament and muscle structures, causing instability and increased pain. A brace compensates for this weakness, reduces strain on the knee and relieves pain.
Knee braces can also help correct joint alignment and limit cartilage deterioration. By controlling knee movement and supporting a smoother range of motion, they help patients remain active and reduce pain during physical activity.
Knee stabilizing brace
A stabilizing knee brace is important for instability caused by injuries or conditions such as sprains, cruciate ligament tears and meniscus injuries.
It provides structural support, limits excessive or incorrect movement and protects the internal structures of the knee. Limiting unwanted movement can support recovery.
Preventive knee brace
Preventive knee braces are designed for people who are prone to pain, including recreational and professional athletes. They help prevent injuries such as ligament tears and reduce the load on the knee, including in cases of patellofemoral syndrome, by absorbing impact. This preventive protection can also improve confidence during intense physical activity and encourage regular movement.
Quality knee braces adapted to your needs
At Laboratoire Orthopédique, we assess your needs and take measurements so the manufacturer can make an appropriate knee brace. Unlike our foot orthotics, our orthotists select high-quality braces from leading manufacturers to provide appropriate support and durability for each patient.
For which injuries is a knee brace indicated?
In addition to knee osteoarthritis, a knee brace may be indicated for:
Sprains
Anterior or posterior cruciate ligament tears
Knock knees (genu valgum)
Knee tendinitis
Knee injuries or deformities may be treated with orthoses or orthopedic shoes. These devices can help rebalance the skeletal structure and prevent or reduce pain, which can improve quality of life.
