Type of Injuries: Knee Immobilizers and Post-Operative Hinged Braces are used to treat knee injuries, with a focus on the ligaments of the knee or other severe injuries to the soft tissue of the leg.
Injuries of the neck, lower back, elbow, knee and ankle may call for the use of supportive collars and braces during recuperation.
Other common overuse injuries occur in the heels and knees with tears in the tissue where tendons attach to the leg bone or the heel bone.
