All kinds of joint damage require long-term treatment and recovery. To reliably fix a damaged joint and immobilize it, medical equipment manufacturers produce a huge range of special devices.
The knee brace is one such product.
The human knee joint has a very complex structure; it consists of three bones, three bursae, menisci and tendons. Cartilaginous plates (menisci), ligaments and tendons take part in connecting the lower and upper parts of the joint.
Thanks to the coordinated work of all elements of this mechanism, the knee can perform flexion and extension movements. But with various damages, the joint loses its functionality.
The causes of impaired motor activity in the knee joint are due to:
To treat pathologies of the knee joint and for recovery during the rehabilitation period after injury or surgery, doctors, in addition to medications, prescribe patients to wear orthopedic bandages.
These simple devices provide stability to a weakened knee, relieve pain and reduce stress.
A brace or orthosis is an orthopedic device that fits tightly around the knee joint and guarantees stability. Knee pads can be worn both for medicinal purposes to get rid of an existing disease, and for preventive purposes.
Knee orthoses are especially necessary for athletes because these people put their legs at risk of injury every day. An elastic bandage will help cope with minor joint damage, inflammation or swelling.
The device has a unloading, warming and compression effect.
Knee immobilization is necessary in the following situations:
The main quality of the knee pad is rigid fixation. A regular elastic bandage cannot guarantee this effect. A properly selected orthosis inhibits the development of the inflammatory process.
The soft knee brace is equipped with a layer made of dog hair. This device provides a warming effect to the limbs and improves blood circulation. Therefore, the product has only positive reviews.
Fixing bandages for knee joints differ not only in their design, but also in the material that the manufacturer uses in the manufacturing process.
The most primitive products are soft knee pads, which replaced elastic bandages. These orthoses are used by athletes and patients with simple knee pathologies.
The knee joint brace, additionally equipped with stiffening ribs, is a polymer fiber retainer.
It has straps and Velcro to ensure complete rest and maximum stability for the joint. An orthosis with stiffeners is indicated for the treatment of arthritis, osteoarthritis, serious injuries and for wearing in the postoperative period.
If pain occurs under the kneecap, it is recommended to use a brace with a tendon support function. This product does not limit the mobility of the ligaments, as evidenced by numerous patient reviews.
The most complex in design are articulated knee pads and splints. Knee braces are universal devices that can be used to eliminate pain from dislocations and sprains, and to treat destructive changes in joint tissues.
In medical practice, knee braces are classified by type and strength of fixation.
Arthrosis is a pathology that affects more and more people every year. Degenerative changes in the structure of the joint cause intense pain and limit the mobility of the limb.
The patient experiences pain even during short walks. A knee brace with stiffening ribs helps reduce symptoms of the disease, eliminate swelling and restore freedom of movement.
At the initial stage of arthrosis, you can wear soft knee pads and open bandages. In order to prevent arthrosis and in case of unclear localization of pain, closed devices are indicated.
When purchasing an orthosis, special attention should be paid to the material that the manufacturer used to make the retainer. Polyester and elastane are considered the most comfortable and practical.
Devices with an insert made of dog hair provide the joint with additional warmth and a healing effect. Tourmaline material has similar properties. The mineral emits infrared radiation and warms the affected joint, penetrating deep into the skin.
Before going to a pharmacy or specialty store to purchase a knee brace, the patient should consult with the doctor who keeps his medical history. The doctor will take into account all the features of the disease and give the patient useful recommendations regarding the type of product.
An elastic brace that protects the knee from various mechanical damage can be purchased independently. The product must match the size of the patient’s limb. When purchasing, you need to keep in mind that each manufacturer has its own size range. To determine the size, you need to measure the circumference of your leg under and above the knee with a tailor's centimeter.
It is better to buy medical fixing devices in trusted online stores or in specialized salons where it is possible to try on the bandage. If it is a rigid fixator, it should not put too much pressure on the leg. Otherwise, the process of blood circulation and nutrition of joint tissues is disrupted, and this will only harm an already sore knee.
You should not expect a therapeutic effect from a freely dangling orthosis. When purchasing, you must also consider the practicality of the material. The product must be washable or washable, wear-resistant and breathable. It is recommended to check all fasteners, fastenings and straps of the bandage. Velcro wears out quickly, so products with such elements are unlikely to last long.

It is in vain to think that arthrosis of the joints is the lot of only older people. Today, young people are increasingly affected by it, both those whose physical activity is based on constant movement, and, conversely, those who lead a sedentary lifestyle. As for the question of which joint is more susceptible to dystrophic, destructive changes, any specialist involved in the treatment of this disease (arthrologist, rheumatologist, orthopedist) will answer - this is the knee. Despite the fact that it is the strongest joint, which performs thousands of flexion-extension movements every day, frequent loads on it that exceed the norm can cause gradual deformation of the cartilaginous plates, that is, arthrosis.
To stop the disease, doctors resort to various methods, ranging from physical therapy to surgery. But as practice shows, wearing special knee pads - bandages or orthoses - also has a rather positive effect.
A knee brace, like an orthosis, is an orthopedic product that fits tightly around the joint and guarantees stability. At the same time, providing reliable fixation, the device in no way compresses muscle tissue, nerve fibers or blood vessels. Bandages are usually made from elastic knitwear, which gives them an additional bonus - the skin continues to “breathe” freely even through a layer of material. For a tighter fit, most knee pads are equipped with various inserts made of silicone, plastic, metal, ceramics, and to regulate the size and degree of support - with straps, lacing, and Velcro.
Doctors recommend wearing a knee brace both for medicinal purposes and for the prevention of injuries and joint diseases. They explain this by the fact that this medical device has several effects at once: unloading, compression, warming, and protection from unnecessary mechanical influences. If we talk specifically about arthrosis, then after a short period of time you can notice the following improvements:
What types of knee pads are there?
Orthopedic products for arthrosis of the knee joint are selected depending on how serious the form of the disease is and what caused its development. So, for example, if the genesis of the pain is not clear, it is better to purchase a closed type bandage. It will help overcome painful sensations due to the large area of support for the knee, and strengthen it when performing movements of any volume.
Another type of orthosis, open, is usually prescribed when arthrosis has developed, but has not become severe, that is, feelings of discomfort, “wagging” of the legs occur occasionally, and the stability of the joint is preserved or slightly impaired. If the pathology is accompanied by point pain when performing a certain type of load (running, walking up stairs, squatting), it is wiser to choose a bandage with additionally reinforced inserts (stiffening ribs).
Hinged knee pads are devices that provide semi-rigid fixation, but retain the possibility of motor activity, are recommended by doctors for post-traumatic arthrosis, as well as for the purpose of rehabilitation after surgical interventions. When the disease has progressed too far and is expressed by severe pain with minimal movements and/or an inflammatory process (arthritis) has developed against the background of destruction of cartilage tissue, a bandage for the knee joint is selected with maximum rigidity - a splint. It will allow you to reliably fix the affected joint, correct its deformation and, ultimately, achieve rest of the limb.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the warming knee pads. They come in 4 types:
Bandages with infrared/halogen heating elements are specially designed according to the anatomical features of the knee. They not only improve local circulation, relieve muscle spasms, but also help remove toxins from the body. Also, this type of orthosis increases the flexibility of joints and tissue elasticity, which is extremely important for arthrosis of the knee joint.
The principle of operation of bandages made from natural wool is similar to the operation of the products described above. The only difference, or rather, an additional bonus of the latter, is that they, having maximum hygroscopicity (moisture-absorbing and retaining properties), allow you to avoid excessive sweating. What does this give? Wearing such knee orthoses with arthrosis will be more comfortable.
According to the mechanism of action, magnetic bandages are often compared to acupuncture or acupressure. Stimulation of reflex zones is carried out using an electromagnetic field. As a result, heat is evenly distributed throughout the knee, overload is removed from the muscles and ligaments, which simultaneously facilitates movement and restores the functionality of the damaged joint.
If we talk about bandages with tourmaline, today they are very popular. The fact is that this mineral, when heated, begins to emit infrared rays, the healing effects of which we already know. But that's not all. Tourmaline is able to destroy residual products of inflammation, relax smooth muscles, activate cellular energy production and saturate tissues with oxygen. Such beneficial properties of this type of knee brace certainly prevent the destruction that occurs in the cartilage matrix during arthrosis.
To protect the kneecap from the progressive destruction of its cartilage, it is not enough to simply buy an orthopedic product. His choice and wearing must be correct. It is better, of course, if all the recommendations are given by an experienced specialist, who, by the way, can also help with determining the size of the knee pad. But if this is temporarily impossible or visiting a doctor is not yet part of your plans, it’s worth remembering the main rule. Under no circumstances should the bandage compress the joint and cause blood stagnation. To prevent this from happening, it is better to determine the size in the morning, when swelling of the knee is minimal. To measure the length of its circumference, it is best to use a centimeter tailor's tape.
As for the question of how long you need to wear a knee brace for arthrosis of the knee joint, it all depends on the severity of the disease, and, consequently, the degree of rigidity of the brace. So, if destructive changes in cartilage have just begun, and you have to wear a product with light fixation, you can walk in it for no more than 3 hours a day. Moreover, it is more appropriate to do this when increased load on the leg is expected. Otherwise, even a properly selected knee brace can cause swelling and discomfort.
For arthrosis of the knee joint, which occurs in a more complex form and requires moderate fixation, orthoses can be worn for up to 12-14 hours. But if the pathology is advanced, and there is a need to use rigid bandages, especially splints, their independent use is out of the question. Only a doctor prescribes such devices and determines the wearing time.
How much does a knee brace cost?
The price of each specific knee brace is determined by many factors, but the most important are: the material used in manufacturing, design features and, of course, the brand of the manufacturing company. For comparison, we present the average cost values of soft (weak fixation) knee pads of the most popular brands.

The development of arthrosis or injury to the knee joint requires orthopedic rehabilitation, which necessarily includes the use of knee braces. The medical market is filled with varieties of knee braces. To choose a suitable knee brace for arthrosis of the knee joint, it is necessary to take into account the material, shape, and indications for use, since each product is used for a specific case and has its own contraindications.
Knee braces for arthrosis allow you to clearly fix the joint and ligaments, which prevents deformation and significantly reduces the load on the affected joint.
A therapeutic knee brace for the knee joint is a special pad that belongs to orthopedic instruments and gives the bone structures and ligaments the appropriate physiological position of the limb, which facilitates movement and inhibits the progression of the disease. It is advisable to use a knee brace only after examination and receiving recommendations from an orthopedic traumatologist.
The selection of a knee brace depends on a combination of factors:
Long-term studies of most cases of medical practice have proven that the development of deforming osteoarthritis develops as a result of constant overexertion or trauma. Excessive loads on the cartilage tissue of the knee joint lead to its thinning and deformation of the bone structures, which significantly reduces the functionality of the joint joints.
The knee joint bandage allows, through external fixation and additional support of the knee, to evenly distribute pressure and physical load on all components of the joint: cartilage, head and sockets, muscles, tendons, capsule, meniscus. Its use makes it possible to move confidently and not be afraid of pain.
A knee brace for fixing the knee joint reduces the influence of the articular surfaces on each other, which does not interfere with blood circulation and the supply of sufficient nutrients to the cartilage plate.
As is known, damage to osteoarticular structures has a low tendency to regenerate their components. This is due not only to anatomical and physiological characteristics, but also to insufficient blood supply to the tissues of the knee. A bandage for the knee joint for arthrosis makes it possible to preserve the functionality of the joint as much as possible.
It is not difficult to completely restore JOINTS! The most important thing is to rub this on the sore spot 2-3 times a day...
An orthopedic knee brace is free from a number of disadvantages that are present in elastic bandages or plaster casts:
Patients with any stage of gonarthrosis can use various types of knee braces independently.
To ensure that therapeutic knee braces do not cause harm, and their purchase does not become a waste of money, patients should consult with an orthopedic traumatologist and determine which type of braces is more suitable in their case.
There are the following types of knee pads:
In orthopedic clinics, specialists will tell you how to choose a specific bandage if you have symptoms of the disease and the stage of the pathological process.
As a rule, knee pads for the knee joint are recommended in case of traumatic injury or arthrosis. Depending on the indications, various types of orthosis fixation are used:
Knee pads for kneecap stability are used by athletes. They are also suitable for patients with gonarthrosis who have connective tissue hypermobility syndrome, which is often accompanied by joint dislocations, especially with sudden movements.
Considering the number of different types of orthoses and clear indications for the degree of fixation, which knee braces are best for arthrosis can only be decided after a set of diagnostic measures and examination by a specialist.
Before choosing knee pads from a certain manufacturer, you need to familiarize yourself with the composition of the product, because many properties of the fixator depend on it:
Interesting fact! The first warming knee pads for arthrosis of the knee joint were invented in ancient times. For this purpose, dog or camel hair was applied to the knee, which has analgesic properties.
The size of the knee pad is individual, just like, for example, in clothing. A correctly selected orthosis does not cause discomfort when worn, does not increase pain, fits tightly to the joint, and looks like a “second skin.”
Before determining the size, it is important to consult with your doctor. Before purchasing a brace, you must measure your knee circumference and compare the information with the data on the size chart.
It is possible that the coverage of the knee joint falls within the double range. In such cases, the size of the knee pads is determined by a larger value, since most orthoses are not only elastic, but also have additional ties.
After just a week of proper use of orthopedic fixators, patients should experience positive symptoms:
