Contact Our TeamFrequently Asked Questions
What brace is best for an unstable knee?
A hinged knee brace is common because the side hinges limit wobble while the knee still bends. A slipping kneecap needs a patella stabilizer instead.
Can a knee brace stop hyperextension?
Yes. A hyperextension brace has a hinge stop that keeps the knee from bending backward past straight.
Suggested: OrthoPro HyperEx Knee Brace
Why does my knee give way?
A knee often gives way after a ligament tear, a meniscus tear or weak thigh muscles. See a doctor if it keeps buckling.
