Knee Braces as a precaution

I have heard some people say that it is a good idea to get a knee brace for each knee even if you have never torn your knee. Seeing as how a ton of people have been screwing their knees up this past season I was curious to see what some of you think?

I figure it may be worthwhile to look into, if it could prevent such a shitty injury.

Also, to any of you who have knee braces, do they inhibit your skiing abilities or movement and flexibility at all?

 
I did my PCL and MCL, got myself a DonJoy defiance. I dunno about precautionary knee braces, becuase you still CAN tear a ligament wearing one. a better thing to do would get stronger, that will help a ton.

^ i did my MCL and ACL ligemants and currently rockin out the donjoy knee brase, i will be wearing this fucker all season as a precaution, blowing ur season in december is not fun lol, ya get stronger and braces are a good idea

Why don't u just go suck a fuck!.....'Oh really!? Tell me how exactly does one suck a fuck???

Your such a fuck ass! 'Did you just call me a fuck ass?! lol' *little girl comes in and says* Whats a fuck ass?

 
i wear shitty knee braces when i ski because my knees are weak and i feel more solid with secure laterall movement with my knees, especially with spins.

not weak, 'haggard'

would that be the correct usage of the word haggard

yeah people with knee injuries should be careful for a while after recovery. i have a friend who tore her acl and she's been wearing knee braces for sports ever since then, and that was god like a year ago.

knee braces dont do much maybe help a little bit with lateral and medial tears but getting your leg stronger will help better than braces

 
i did my ACL this past winter and its not going to be rebuilt quite yet, so what is it liek to ski with these braces on becasue i want to get one but im worried about em being cluncky as a bitch. and do you have a link or pic of the donjoy one you speak of?

ive had two docs say that knee braces dont help physically after a certain point. they just help your mind.

Someone please enlighten me on you can make your knee stronger? I have been lifting for a long time and work legs a lot and I have shitty knees just from genetics but all I can say is doing squats and some other leg excercises only makes your knee weaker.

you are one giant piece of internet suck -...focus....
 
^ i dont understand what u mean by lifting makes your legs weaker.

And, my $.02, the best i've ever felt skiing physically and mentally was the day when I threw the knee brace away. Yeah, it helped a little mentally after surgery(ies), but if your mind is on not getting hurt, then your mind is not 100% on skiing. And when your mind is not 100% on skiing, then your gonna hesitate. Hesitation is bad mmmmkay............

^i agree with that.

also i tried on a couple of knee braces this winter just cause i don't want to get wicked fucked up and i couldn't bend my legs at all. i would have sucked at skiing if i had to wear braces. i hope i never have to

I didn't mean to say it makes your leg weaker but it will make your KNEE weaker.

Im not going to wear a brace next year, I think wearing a brace will make me just favor my other leg. I dont think its going to prevent another injury.

45tommy, that would not be the correct use of Haggard. the word haggard is meant to desrcribe sumthing sorta nasty, and oldschool. Like, 'dude, look at that guys haggard gear' his gear is haggard b/c it is all black denim and ripped up, and sprayed with mist of white spray paint. and r5tommy, i would also recomend taking those cheap knee braces off, and strengtheneing yer knee. if you wear them it doesn't give you knee a chance to get strong while skiing. it will make it weak, therefore be bad. i recomend right now goin an lifting weights, (do things taht you think would benefit yer knees). that way when ski season rolls around you will be in strong shape.

i had my acl reconstructed on 3/25 and just took my brace off 2 weeks ago, never to wear it again!
