Sports Knee Supports
How can knee supports, or knee braces  be used in sport?
There are two main kinds of sports knee support or brace which can be used during sporting activity. They are:
- Prophylactic braces which are designed to protect knees from injuries during contact sports like football.
- Functional sporting braces which give support to knees that have already been injured.
