How does the Bodyguard™ knee brace reduce knee sprains?
The Bodyguard™ Compression Knee Brace is designed to add comfort, stability and performance enhancement to the sprained or bruised knee. In the uninjured knee it reduces the incidents of knee sprains/strains and bruises from impact trauma, while adding stability and performance enhancement. As with all Bodyguards it provides compression, support, muscle and tendon heat circulation, strain distribution and impact absorption.
The Bodyguard™ Open Patella Knee Brace (OPKB) is a protective device that delivers compression, mechanical support, musculoskeletal heat circulation, strain distribution and impact absorption. The Bodyguard™ Open Patella Knee Brace is designed to attach to and stabilize the entire knee complex. It also raises muscle and tissue temperature and maintains it to promote increased blood flow and promote healing. It absorbs and distributes strain on the musculature and connective tissue of the entire knee complex including the distal thigh and proximal calf musculature. It is extremely efficient as a prophylactic device to reduce injuries and as a rehabilitative device to protect and promote the healing of an injured knee during the full rehabilitation process.
A violent overstretching of one or more ligaments in the knee. Sprains involving two or more ligaments cause considerably more disability than single-ligament sprains. When the ligament is overstretched, it becomes tense and gives way at it's weakest point, either where it attaches to bone or within the ligament itself. If the ligament pulls loose a fragment of bone, it is called an avulsion fracture. The injury, usually a strain, occurs at the weakest part of the unit.
