Long And Short Knee Braces

Knee braces are getting very popular nowadays. People like professional athletes are deeply fond of knee braces when it comes to treating severe knee injuries and recurring knee pain. A knee brace acts as a supportive device for the knee, providing support and stability to it. They are worn directly on the knee to ensure maximum impact. 

Knee braces differ in material, size, design as well as utility. While long knee braces are mostly worn in case of patella dislocation, short knee braces are mostly useful in treating knee fractures and knee sprains. Knee braces are generally sold over the counter in medicine stores. You can also get customised knee braces prescribed by your doctor.

But can a knee brace alleviate knee pain? The following sections clearly describe the function of a knee brace and how you can address different types of knee problems using long and short knee braces. 

How do knee braces function?

Knee braces are meant to brace your knee activity to protect your knee joints. They are worn regularly to reduce the discomfort of injured knees and prevent any injury in the future. 

The tendons and ligaments around the knee are greatly responsible for maintaining knee stability during any knee activity. You can wear a knee brace during rigorous physical activities to maintain proper support to the injured area of the knee. In other words, you can easily rely on a knee brace for superior stability and knee protection.

Long knee braces:

Long knee braces from Vissconext ensure the ultimate stability of the knee joint by firmly seizing the movement of your knee. They are highly indispensable in supporting the knee post-surgery. Long knee braces are mostly used in serious cases like knee replacement, post-patella dislocation and post-ACL repair. 

Our long knee braces are about 19 inches in length that uniformly cover your legs right from the knee to the shin bone. They are made of skin-friendly materials which prohibit the growth of any fungus or bacteria. 

Short knee braces:

Short knee braces are highly useful in cases of mild knee pain, knee strain and prevent any knee injury during sports. They are highly effective in relieving knee pain resulting from osteoarthritis. 

For optimum compression, use Vissconext’s short knee braces that have a ribbed surface to reduce pressure around the patellar region. Their ribbed design is meant to take the shape of your knee, enabling it to stay in place and provide superior flexibility while moving.

They are latex-free and made of cotton which makes the braces antibacterial and antifungal. Use can comfortably put on your short knee braces while relaxing at home, working in the office or playing outside. You can also use them while running, walking and exercising. So, bounce back to your fitness routine with short knee braces from Vissconext.

Remove your knee braces after a while:

The long-term movement of our tendons and ligaments will gradually deteriorate due to a lack of external stimulation. In such cases, a knee brace comes to the rescue. However, once the brace is removed after a long time,  you may feel certain instability in your knee and limbs. Hence, it is advisable to take away your knee brace just after your exercise, to avoid any deterioration in the knee tissue.

Prolonged use of knee braces can affect the curvature of your legs, which eventually weakens your knee joints and muscles. As a result, you lose the ability to walk, run, stand and move around like before. Therefore, it is very crucial to stop wearing your knee braces after some to maintain the proper health of your knee.
