Hinged Knee Braces, Hinge Knee Braces, Knee Braces with Hinges, Knee Braces Hinged

If you’ve experienced a knee injury and your physician has prescribed a hinged knee brace, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer number of options, especially with how similar some models may look when compared.  The majority of knee braces will attach via hook-and-loop fasteners (AKA: Velcro), enabling patients to obtain a customized fit that’s unique to their body shape. But, what’s really important to look for in a knee brace?

• Rigid vs. Soft: What sort of injury are you recovering from? If your injury requires mild to moderate support for optimal recovery, a soft hinged knee brace is best for your needs. Alternatively, if you’re recovering from an injury that needs moderate to maximum support for the best healing process, a rigid hinged knee brace is the best option for you.
• Sports Ability: If you intend to keep up with your active lifestyle during your recovery, you’ll want to take a look at rigid hinged knee braces. These braces are built to provide ample support which is great for those who are seeking stability during contact sports like soccer, lacrosse, or football. 
• Coverage: What’s your preference? Do you want a brace that covers your knee completely? Or would you prefer a more “open-air” style of brace? The coverage of your brace is completely up to personal preference and the recommendation of your physician.
