BAUERFEIND Sports Compression Knee Support

Product Information

Bauerfeind’s Compression Knee Support is designed to help boost performance in sports and activity, getting the most out of the muscles in your knees for unparalleled output and helping you perform at your best. The material a knee brace is made from needs to be lightweight and comfortable to wear for long periods without getting hot or sweaty. The fabric should also be compressive and easy to clean if you’re going to wear it for long periods. Though much research has been done on knee braces and osteoarthritis, the results are mixed. Many studies show pain relief and better knee function when people wear knee braces. More research is needed on the long-term benefits of knee braces and comparing the different types of knee braces. Unloader knee braces: Some studies have suggested that knee braces, particularly unloader knee braces, can provide pain relief for people with knee osteoarthritis. Unloader (or offloading) braces work by redistributing the workload away from the damaged part of the knee joint. Research has shown that some people experience reduced pain and improved mobility when wearing these braces, although they are relatively cumbersome.

Knee braces: Current evidence and clinical recommendations for their use. In short, a lot of research is investigating the use of a knee brace to help with osteoarthritis symptoms. It is vital to ensure your brace fits well, is the right type (support sleeve, unloader, hinged) for your severity of symptoms, and to work with a doctor or physical therapist to get the best results from your brace.

Effect of knee braces and insoles on clinical outcomes of individuals with medial knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. For mild-to-moderate arthritis, a supportive sleeve-style brace may provide enough support and pain relief for daily activities, including walking. Are knee compression sleeves good for arthritis? Ideal for sports involving rapid start and stop motions including basketball, netball, volleyball, squash etc For products with Velcro® straps, pads or inserts, remove them if possible, or fasten them securely at the place provided on the brace. Machine wash your brace in cold water using the gentle or delicate cycle. Wash separately using laundry detergent with no additives (do not use fabric softener or Woolite). Lay your support flat and let it air dry; do not put it in the dryer. Proper washing and drying helps your knit support maintain elasticity and original fit.

It’s also important to get the right size of knee brace. Most will have a sizing guide, so grab a tape measure and make sure you get a snug, but not uncomfortable, fit. If your foot goes numb, it’s too snug. Some knee supports have adjustable velcro straps, but compression sleeves tend not to be adjustable. Built for athletes on the move, the Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support NBA has integrated gripping strips designed to keep the brace in place during running, jumping, and shooting or dunking. Never worry about pulling up your brace during the game. Squats are a classic of strength training. If you do them properly and add some weight in the upper part of your body - e.g. through a barbell or a kettlebell - they are one of the most effective exercises to build up muscles. If you have swelling in your knee, are unable to fully straighten your leg, or find that pain in the area doesn’t go away or even gets worse during exercise, you should definitely consult an expert. Even if your pain is mild and you find that using a support alleviates it, you should avoid using a brace for long periods, because you could be masking a problem in your body that could be fixed through other exercises so that you don’t have to rely on a brace.Customized braces: Custom-fitted knee braces, particularly unloader braces, are often more effective than off-the-shelf braces. Customization allows for a more precise fit and load distribution, which can enhance the benefits of the brace and reduce the risk of injury or discomfort.

Hinged knee braces: Hinged knee braces, as well as general knee braces, may help improve functional outcomes, such as walking and exercise, for people with knee osteoarthritis. They can provide stability to the knee joint, making it easier for people to do their daily living activities and exercise. https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/healthy-living/managing-pain/joint-protection/4-ways-a-knee-brace-can-help-knee-arthritisThe third reason people might use a knee brace is to manage chronic conditions like arthritis, by helping to reduce pain and inflammation. These braces need to be comfortable to wear for long periods and also flexible enough to not unduly restrict movement, while being more supportive than a basic sleeve support. What type of knee support should I buy? Type: Decide if you prefer a sleeve or wraparound design. Some braces feature hinges, an open patella, and a padded knee ring. The Compression Knee Support features medical grade compression technology and is everything neoprene is not - lightweight, breathable and anatomically-contoured for a perfect fit. The compression increases the supply of oxygen to the working muscles of the knee. This increased oxygen supply helps to improve muscle endurance and decrease muscle fatigue after exercise. The controlled compression improves the knee’s ability to maintain maximum movement stability during sporting activities. But it’s also important to know that there is limited long-term research on the benefits of knee braces for osteoarthritis. It’s unknown whether wearing a knee brace will slow the progression of OA. It’s essential to discuss with your healthcare professional whether using a knee brace is appropriate for your long-term management plan. Pricing guide Khosravi M, et al. (2019).
