A professional knee brace usually offers maximum knee support and stability. These braces are usually made of an exotic metal, usually aluminum due to its high strength and low weight. They are all framed braces, so the metal and hinges provide the support and strength, when compared to a brace made out of nylon, elastic or neoprene. Most of these braces are used for patients that have suffered severe knee injuries, requiring prolonged immobilization or surgical repair.
Many of the new professional knee braces are made of carbon fiber, providing an extremely lightweight, low profile alternative to metal framed braces.
The knee is the most vulnerable joint in an athlete's body.
Professional Knee Braces are functional braces of the highest quality and workmanship. Except for custom made braces that can cost over $1,000.00, these braces provide the maximum support and stability for a wide range of knee conditions. They move and react to the person's leg motion. These professional braces are also versatile, as they can be adjusted and modified during rehabilitation following surgery or an injury.
