Why wear this knee support?
Wearing this knee support may be recommended if you experience ligament instability, chronic instability or anxiety around taking up a sport after a mild sprain (partial ligament tear).
It reduces any knee ligament weakness observed during an anterior drawer test.
The articulated side supports guide the joint along the axis while accompanying your movements during sporting activity.
What is a sprain?
A sprained knee is when you stretch or tear one or more ligaments in your knee: the medial collateral ligament (MCL), fibular collateral ligament (LCL), the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Sprains are not a serious problem when the ligaments are just stretched. They become fairly serious when there is a partial rupture of one or more ligaments. Serious sprains indicate a complete rupture of ligaments.
