postoperative hip bracing indications, and mechanics
Postop hip arthroscopy
Dislocation
Limits range of motion
knee immobilizer indication and mechanics
acute knee injury
Postoperative
Allow joint to rest and provide stability for gait
neoprene sleeve
Perceived instability
Comfort
Proprioceptive
Improves proprioceptive acuity
Patellofemoral bracing
Global patellar instability
Tracking dysfunction
Doughnut brace , J strap
Classification is vital to success
Unloader brace
medial or lateral compartment OA
Induced varus/valgus force
improved ADLs and sports and recreation
Knee Society score
cho pat strap
tibia apophysitis
distal patellar apophysitis
Force distribution
Limits patellar tendon strain
functional collateral brace
Following MCL/LCL injury
Prophylaxis
Prevent medial or lateral gapping
20 to 30% greater resistance to valgus force
Football lineman
functional cruciate brace
Following ACL/PCL surgery
Non-operative ACL
Prevent anterior and posterior tibial translation
No evidence that pain, range of motion, graph stability or protection from injury were affected by brace use
inversion control ankle brace
Following inversion ankle sprain
Laces, lateral stays, figure of eight prevent inversion moment
Affective at preventing first and subsequent ankle sprains
shoulder sling
Following acute event like dislocation, ACJ sprain, labral repair, minor surgery
resting splint
no correlation with rates of redislocation, if worn greater than one week
shoulder immobilizer
Following joint replacement
Rotator cuff repair
Resting splint with or without abduction pillow
sully brace
non-operative shoulder instability
Prevents 90/90 position
