Research Notes on Arthritis Knee Supports


Knee supports are used to provide a physical support for an injured or painful knee. Supports are usually made out of elastic material and plastic, and are reinforced by straps that wrap around the brace. Special "unloader/offloader" braces are designed for people who have arthritis in the knees.1

Fast Facts:

  • Knee braces do not work well as preventative measures against injury.1
  • Knee braces tend to work better in laboratory settings than they do in actual use.1
  • The need and use of a brace should only be determined by a doctor.1
