Unloader braces: Typically featuring metal rods in the sides of the braces for medial and lateral stability, Dr. Wu tells us unloader braces are a common option for unloading the joint after fractures in the joint or when dealing with arthritis. They work by creating space between the bones, which aids in pain reduction. Another common use for knee braces is to rehabilitate the knee after a serious injury or surgery. If you’re recovering from an ACL injury, for example, then you’ll need a sturdier brace than those who are wearing one in the hope of nursing injuries through activities, because braces for rehab will be designed to limit the knee’s movement to protect it.

However, not all knee braces are made the same. Charles Hummer, MD, FAAOS, FACS, of Premier Orthopaedics says cheaper models may not provide proper cushioning and can lead to hard plastics impinging on your skin. With this in mind, he tells us comfort is important because patients are more likely to wear the brace if it isn’t a chore.

Though research is mixed, there is some research that indicates that an elastic knee sleeve may improve pain and the functional capacity of people with knee osteoarthritis. With this data in mind, we like the Powerlix Knee Compression Sleeve for a handful of reasons, and it also earns Dr. Wu’s approval as a choice for general compression. Compression: According to Dr. Wu, compressive and pliable knee braces are a good option for ailments like arthritis as they offer support to the joint and lower the sensation of pain. She also tells us these types of braces tend to be best suited for sports, as they offer support without restricting mobility. Keep in mind that some people may experience mild bunching behind the knee due to the design. Additionally, there’s no XXL size option. Other common features include hard structures like plastic and polyethylene, but Dr. Hummer warns that you don’t want these materials impinging on the skin. He notes that most good braces will feature padding to prevent this problem, with many good options featuring a liner or sleeve to prevent injury.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. While this option is great for people who want to promote stability and ensure they don’t run themselves into dangerous end ranges of motion, it also has a handful of other features that we appreciate. Four-way adjustable straps mean you can create a more tailored fit while also getting joint support and ACL protection. As a sleeve, it also offers a good deal of compression, using neoprene and breathable mesh for temperature regulation. Lastly, a simple but nice feature that we appreciate is that the brace includes reflectivity, which helps to keep you safe in low-visibility areas.

Do be aware that the brace runs a bit small, and be sure to follow washing instructions so it doesn’t shrink in the wash. Adjustability is in important feature, though some circumstances make it more relevant than others. Dr. Wu says it’s a bit of a balancing act. A brace that is too loose won’t accomplish what it needs to. Conversely, one that is too tight can create irritation and cause its own set of problems. The brace features a patella gel pad and side spring stabilizers to disperse pressure and aid in keeping your knee warm. One important feature for people who move a lot is this brace’s breathability and lightweight air knit fabric that fights excessive heat and sweat.To find the best knee braces available, we spoke with medical experts and diligently searched the internet for the best options. When conducting our search, we focused on a handful of features, including purpose, materials, type, and adjustability levels of the knee braces. We also paid attention to other details like price, size options, and whether the brace was compatible with both knees. We also appreciate that this brace is available in 11 color options and runs from extra S to XXXL. However, be aware that it tends to run small, and the side braces wear down easily with frequent use.
