Arthritis of the knee causes joint pain, stiffness, restriction of movement and a creaking noise known as 'Crepitus'. Knee Arthritis flare ups can leave you with a painful swollen knee and impaired function. The symptoms of Knee Arthritis can severely affect everyday activities such as stair climbing and gardening. That is why you need the Elastic Laced Hinged Knee Brace by Freeman to help you out.
Knee braces are supports that you wear for a painful or injured knee. Some people use them to prevent knee injuries during sports. These Braces are made from combinations of metal, foam, plastic, elastic material and straps.
In more advanced cases of Knee Arthritis a Hinged Knee Brace may be more appropriate. The Elastic Laced Hinged Knee Brace provide more physical restraint around the knee joint and helps to restore knee stability. Unlike sleeves, these braces consist of one or two bars with hinges along the sides of the knee and laces to hold it in place.
They intend to improve the stability of an injured knee and are most commonly worn following the injury while awaiting surgical reconstruction, or after surgery to protect the reconstructed knee. The Elastic Hinged Knee Brace by Freeman can be adjusted to allow various amounts of range motion. I can accommodate swelling better than casts or splints, and is easy to remove and replace for icing and re-examinations.
It is knitted from one-way and made up of stretch elastic. It features lateral steel hinges, leather retaining straps and front lace closure. The lacing facilitates adjustment when swelling occurs. The length of 12" provides better support and coverage.
