If you are new to finding a basketball knee support, you might have noticed that there are a ton of different basketball knee braces on the market. The vast number available on the market can make the task seem overwhelming. Once you read through the questions and information below the task will be much more manageable.
Our goal here is, not to advertise a certain brand name to you, but to help guide you with useful questions. This way the decision making is up to you. Once you can answer these questions, then you will know how to find the best knee support possible, when you are playing in any sport.
Here are some great questions to ask yourself, when you are looking for a basketball knee brace. The reason why we ask these questions is that there are knee braces specified for these criteria.
1.) Do you have a mild to moderate knee injury? (Several types of knee braces are focused on mild to moderate injuries only, usually they are simple neoprene knee sleeves, or drytex hinged knee supports)
2.) What is your knee pain on a scale 1-10? (Usually, the bigger the knee pain, the bigger the knee support needed.)
3.) Do you have a serious knee injury, like a complete ACL or an MCL tear? (These knee braces usually have a dynmaic hinge on each side of the knee with medial and lateral uprights for support)
4.) Are you protecting against a future knee injury?
5.) Do you need a knee brace that will help hold your knee cap in place? (If this is the only issue, usually you do not need a big knee brace, a smaller one will usually suffice)
To make the best choice possible, it is wise to consider your knee issue first, then look to the sport you are playing. - In addition, one rule of thumb is that usually the larger the knee injury, the larger the knee brace.
Several studies have shown that people usually do not need custom knee braces. - This might sound a little bit silly, but we like to ask this question: Are all your clothes custom made? If they are not custom made, we are willing to bet that they probably fit pretty well. Do they not? - The same thing happens with non-custom knee braces, non-custom knee supports usually fit great, plus this means that you get to save some money too.
