How do Braces and
Straps work?

Similar to a cast, braces and straps can help you heal and prevent injuries by limiting movement. Where they differ from a cast is that they allow some freedom of movement so you can perform your regular tasks. Braces can also offer added stability and strength so you can get back to regular activities sooner.

Types of Braces and Straps:

provide exceptional support. They are typically used for joints like the knee or elbow. Their hinged design provides rigidity to support the joint while also allowing you to move. They can be used to help with severe injuries and conditions where unsupported movement could cause further damage. For example, hinged knee braces can help with ligament injuries, meniscus injuries, sprains, and osteoarthritis.

can provide back support by keeping pressure off your spine and helping to prevent strains. They are often used for jobs involving repeated lifting or sports that involve twisting the back frequently or to help with injuries like torn back ligaments. The brace provides the necessary lumbar spine support by helping to keep your back in the right position and by providing some compression.

also referred to as bands, can be used to take stress off a particular area by applying gentle pressure. For example, knee straps can apply pressure to the front of the knee to take stress off a problematic tendon. This helps prevent a condition known as “jumper’s knee” because it often affects athletes in sports that involve lots of running and jumping.
