After a sprained foot, you can choose to install a knee brace for support. UseKnee braceAfter fixing, effective support and fixing can be guaranteed to avoid secondary damage.

In fact, it is inevitable that some foot sprains will occur in daily life. Many people don't take it seriously and feel that it will be all right to sit on the ground and rest for a while. In fact, at that time, we feel very painful in our feet, especially in our knees. If you don't take it seriously, you will find that your knees will be swollen very quickly after standing up here. You can't ignore it at this time.

So after you sprained your knee, you need to go to the hospital in time for treatment. After finding a knee sprain, go to the nearest Junior College clinic to determine the condition of the knee injury and determine the treatment plan according to the condition of the knee injury. Moreover, after a knee sprain, we can divide it into several degrees according to the clinical slight degree. Once manifested as local swelling and tenderness, injured patients can walk normally.

If the local swelling is painful and the shape is difficult, the anterior ligament may rupture at this time. Therefore, after you find your knee sprain again, we try to get the material as close as possible. If there is an ice pack in the refrigerator, try to use a soft ice pack. If possible, try to make a knee brace. With this brace, you can ensure that your knee will not be injured again and you can go to the hospital in time.

If you have a slight knee sprain, you need to apply cold compresses several times in the morning. Almost every cold compress can be applied for 15-20 minutes. Therefore, you can quietly apply cold compress for three days, and then slowly fix it with elastic belt and knee brace for about three weeks. Within three weeks, you can slowly do some light weight training. After three weeks, you can remove the fixed knee brace and do some light back extension and bending and other functional training.

If you have a severe knee sprain, you usually need a cast. According to the doctor's examination to determine the degree of healing of your wound, you can remove the plaster for active and passive functional training. If the ligament tear is severe, surgical repair is required. Knee protectors are only effective for mild knee injuries. If your knee is serious, it needs to be repaired according to the doctor's advice.

The knee brace is placed outside the body to limit certain body movements, assist the effect of surgical treatment, or be used directly for external fixation of non-surgical treatment. At the same time, pressing acupoints on the basis of external fixation can be used as an orthopedic brace to correct and treat physical deformities. The function of the knee brace is as follows:

1. Stabilize joints

For example, the sequelae of poliomyelitis leads to paralysis of the knee joint, paralysis of the muscles that control the flexion and extension of the knee joint, soft and unstable knee joint, excessive extension, and obstruction of standing. You can control the knee joint in the normal extended position through support and use the load. In addition, like patients with lower limb paralysis, the knee joint is in a straight position when practicing standing, and it is easy to lean forward and kneel. Use a knee brace to prevent the knee from bending. If the knee muscles are completely paralyzed, the knee will become a flail and can be put in shoes.

2. Instead of weight bearing to protect bone grafts and fractures.

For example, after free bone grafting in most bone defects of femoral shaft or tibial shaft, lower limb braces can be used to protect the bone graft to ensure complete survival and prevent bone graft fracture before weight bearing. The knee branch has a grounding load, and the gravity is transmitted to the ischial tuberosity through the brace, which reduces the load on the femur and tibia. Support and protection may be provided until a fracture has healed, such as an ankle injury.

3. Correct deformity or prevent deterioration of deformity.

Mild scoliosis patients under 40 years of age, can take a support vest to correct scoliosis, prevent its deterioration. For mild dislocation or hemi-dislocation of the hip, hip abduction support can be used for reduction. Regarding foot sagging, a bracket connected to the shoe may be used to prevent foot sagging and the like. Add insoles to relieve femoral head headaches and flat feet is also one of the braces.

4. Alternative functions

For example, when the leg muscles are paralyzed and cannot be held, the wrist joint can be supported by the bracket in the functional position to stimulate flexor contraction and restore the holding function.

5. make-up length

For example, patients with shorter lower limbs will inevitably tilt their pelvis when standing and walking. Pelvic tilt may cause compensatory curvature of the lumbar spine, resulting in low back pain. Make up for the short length of the limbs, raising the feet can make up for stilts.

6. Temporary external fixation

With the popularization of rehabilitation medicine, low-temperature and high-temperature thermoplastic plates and resin materials emerge in endlessly, and various braces applying biomechanical design theory also emerge in endlessly. With the advantages of simple operation and strong plasticity, it can be widely used in clinical practice instead of plaster,Knee braceWidely used.
