Orthoses are external orthopedic devices designed to correct, stabilize and compensate for disorders of the musculoskeletal system, as well as provide protection and relief for joints.
A hingeless knee orthosis is needed for complete fixation of the knee joint.
It can be made of MLM soft-cast plastic.
Every day our legs are exposed to a lot of stress, and most of it falls on our knees. Therefore, we must pay special attention to protecting our knees, which is especially important for people with an active lifestyle or those who go in for sports. In addition, knees need care due to various diseases and surgeries. To protect yourself from this kind of problem, you should follow the advice of orthopedists who strongly recommend purchasing a knee orthosis.
Materials:
Top: thermoplastic or soft cast
Lining: hypoallergenic perforated pedilen or cotton stocking
Fixation on the leg: with Velcro
Color: white, blue or pattern of the patient’s choice
Why is a knee orthosis needed?
The orthosis fixes the joint in the desired position, which helps protect and restore it. Even if the result of your excessive physical activity is sprains, twists or other injuries, do not be upset and, by no means, do not postpone your treatment for later.
In what situations is additional knee support needed?
The knee joint is very vulnerable, as it bears a large load. The knee has a complex structure; therefore, pathologies may have various origins, limiting mobility and being accompanied by pain.
Doctors advise keeping the joint under constant control and ensuring that it is in one position. Following these recommendations, you can expect full and fast recovery.

How to choose the right orthosis?
Before you buy a knee orthosis, you need to determine the model which is the best for solving your specific problem and which corresponds to the indications. There are many different types of orthoses on sale, each of them performs its own function. Any orthopedic product is selected individually, as the wrong choice can cause complications, vein and blood vessel diseases. So, if you use an orthosis that is too tight, blood flow will be disrupted and muscle tissue will be weakened. And if the fixation of the orthosis is weak, the recovery period may be increased.
