In today's video, we'll go over when you should use different knee equipment, such as knee caps, knee braces, and so on.
The video will be split into two sections for an easier and better understanding, i.e.
What sort of medical equipment for the knee should you employ right away following an injury before operation.
In a similar vein, what sort of medical equipment should you utilize following surgery on your knees?
Part One : kind of knee support that you should use immediately after an injury and before surgery
Crepe Bandage
Use a crepe bandage as soon as possible after suffering a knee injury, whether it be an ACL tear or a small sprain. This will provide your knee immediate relief and comfort and prevent swelling. However, it should be highlighted once more that crepe bandages are useless in cases of major injuries.
Knee Cap
Similar to crepe bandages, the primary purpose of a knee Cap is to reduce swelling. The only distinction is that it lessens swelling in the region above the knee.
Knee Braces
Knee braces are used to provide support to the knee, and their primary function is to provide stability to the knee. Many people are unsure whether to use plaster or knee braces because both provide support and stability to the knee. However, there is a distinction: plaster is used when there is a bone injury, whereas knee braces are used when there is soft tissue or ligament injury.
And, if you're wondering why not use plaster for ligament injury, the reason is that the plaster can cause stiffness and itchiness in the knee.
There are different kinds of knee braces available so here is what should you choose -
Types of Knee Braces
Short Knee Braces
Short knee braces, particularly those with hinges, are ideal for providing support during knee movement. They are used prior to the operation. They are only required when moving the knee and are not required when resting.
Part Two: Kind of medical equipment should you utilize following surgery on your knees?
Long Knee Braces
They are used after the operation and cover the area from thighs to ankle. And are used to provide stability. And a special long knee type of braces is used which provide support during the movement.
And one can use long knee braces for 3 to 4 weeks.
Crepe Bandage
Are also used immediately following surgery to reduce swelling.
There are some more kinds of knee braces are used such as the unloader knee brace which is generally used in case of Osteoarthritis
