Knee Brace Reducing Patellofemoral pain in Patients

Open Patella Knee Brace, which is designed to provide comfort and support for knee pain incurred from sporting activities, and to help relieve post-surgery knee pain, strains, and arthritis. The open patella knee support utilizes a buttress to manage patella tracking, and the patellar opening enhances comfort and freedom of movement. This is also one great knee brace for running. It is basically a knee sleeve that has an opening for the patellar and buttressing or straps around the opening. This limits the movement of the patellar, reducing chances of dislocation or subluxation. Additional stability may be offered when there are hinges along the sides of the knees. This brace can be used to lessen pain for people suffering from patellofemoral pain as a result of wrong tracking of the patellar.

An open patella brace as the name implies allows the kneecap or patella to be exposed. There are some models that are completely open in the front part while others are built with a small strengthened opening big enough for the patella. Those who use an open patella knee brace claims that it is comfortable when used extensively than a closed patella brace that usually assumes the form of a continuous tube made out of supportive material. Open patella knee braces are structured specially to support the patella by securing it in its proper alignment. An open patella knee brace can provide minimal support than a closed patella brace. Due to this, the close model is preferred by bodybuilders. As for athletes who engage in active sports, they prefer the open design for flexibility and lightness.

Relieving kneecap pain: When weakness or softness of cartilage under the kneecap causes pain, a knee brace with a cutout for the kneecap can help keep the bone in place and ease pain. Braces are beneficial in helping with the symptoms of pain and discomfort after an injury and even protect the knee from injuries to some extent but not all braces have been shown to be effective. The exact mechanism of working of a knee brace is still not very clear but in general the types of braces which have been shown to be effective are the functional knee braces, knee braces and the unloader knee braces. It is also seen that some people seem to benefit more with the braces than others for no known reason. In some cases, the risk of injuries have shown to increase with the use of a brace but most of the people who have used a knee brace at some point or the other do feel that they were of help to some extent.
