An Insight into how Innovative Rigid Knee Braces are Helping Patients with Osteoarthritis in Relieving the Pain and Help Walk
Rigid Knee Braces are the most popularly used orthoses for the
treatment of osteoarthritis pain. In fact, they are one of the major
breakthroughs in the field of orthopedic therapy and orthopedic manufacturing.
Rigid Knee Braces are very simple and easy to use. Unlike the traditional
braces, these braces do not have any wires or screws that have to be threaded
onto the bones. They can be worn at any time. The wires used here are made up
of rubber. This helps to prevent the wires from creating discomfort to the
bones of the knee. Furthermore, the wire used in these braces also prevents the
fluid formation that is common in traditional braces.
These braces help in exercising the stabilizers, tendons, and
muscles that surround the joint. They also help in maintaining proper alignment
of the bones. The tendons and muscles get stronger when they are properly
exercised. Moreover, it also increases bone density. This makes the knee more
resilient to shock and pain. Another important thing about Rigid
Knee Braces is that it helps in reducing the pain felt in the knee. It is
due to this reason that more people suffering from osteoarthritis are opting
for these braces.
The kind of osteoarthritis knee brace which can be used by a
person depends on the severity of his or her problem. In general, there are two
kinds of braces that are available. One is rigid, which is usually a hard
plastic brace, while the other is flexible. The kind of brace required depends
on the degree of stiffness and joint deformity faced by a patient. Industry
leaders in Singapore, Italy, and the U.S. are introducing innovative rigid knee
braces to help patients with osteoarthritis in relieving the pain. For
instance, recently, engineers from a major university in the U.S. introduced 3D
print flexible mesh for ankle and knee braces. These braces can be personalized
as per requirements and help to walk.
