What is Hinged Knee Brace?


A hinged knee brace is a type of knee support product designed to provide stability and protection to the knee joint. Most hinged knee brace typically combines rigid and flexible materials, with hinges strategically placed on either side of the knee joint. Hinged knee supports allow controlled movement while limiting excessive motion that could cause further injury or discomfort.

Hinged knee brace is designed to support and stabilize the knee joint. It is commonly used by individuals with knee injuries or conditions that cause knee instability, such as osteoarthritis, ligament tears, or post-surgery recovery.

The brace features metal hinges on either side of the knee that mimic the joint's natural movement, allowing for greater flexibility and ease of movement. This type of brace is ideal for active individuals who want to continue participating in physical activities, such as sports or exercise, while protecting their knees.

Why Need a Hinged Knee Brace in Sports?


  1. Injury Prevention: A hinged knee brace provides additional support and stability, reducing the risk of injuries such as ligament sprains, meniscus tears, and patellar dislocations.
  2. Support for Previous Injuries: Athletes who have previously experienced knee injuries may use hinged knee braces supports to provide extra support and protection to the joint, helping to prevent re-injury during sports activities.
  3. Post-Injury Rehabilitation: After sustaining a knee injury, athletes often undergo rehabilitation to strengthen the muscles around the knee and regain mobility. A hinged knee brace can be used during rehabilitation to provide support and stability while allowing controlled movement to aid recovery.
  4. Joint Alignment: Some athletes may have knee alignment or stability issues due to factors such as muscle weakness or anatomical abnormalities. An adjustable hinged knee brace can help align the knee joint properly and provide stability during sports activities, reducing the risk of injury caused by improper biomechanics.
  5.  Ongoing Support: In sports that involve repetitive stress on the knees, such as running, basketball, or skiing, athletes may use proper hinged knee braces as a preventive measure to provide ongoing support and reduce the risk of overuse injuries.

Tips for Choosing a Hinged Knee Brace?


  • Identify the Type of Support Needed: Consider the type of injury or condition you're dealing with and the level of support required. For instance, if you're recovering from a ligament injury, you may need a brace with sturdy hinges for stability. A less rigid brace with adjustable knee straps may suffice if you have mild instability or osteoarthritis.
  • Choose the Correct Size: Proper fit is crucial for the effectiveness of a hinged knee brace. Ensure the brace fits snugly without being too tight or too loose. Fivali provides adjustable hinged knee braces for different demands, from S size to XXL size.
  • Evaluate the Hinge Design: Hinges are a critical component of hinged knee braces, providing stability while allowing controlled movement. Look for adjustable hinged knee braces with durable, well-designed hinges that offer appropriate support for your needs.
  • Consider Comfort and Breathability: Choose a knee brace made from breathable materials that wick away moisture to prevent discomfort and skin irritation.
  • Assess Flexibility and Range of Motion: Adjustable hinged knee braces offer adjustable straps or removable components that allow you to customize support and movement.
  • Check for Compatibility with Activities: Consider the specific sports or activities plan to engage in while wearing the brace. Some braces are designed for specific sports, such as skiing or basketball, and may offer features tailored to those activities.
  • Test the Brace: If possible, try on the brace before purchasing to assess its fit, comfort, and functionality. Ensure it doesn't slip or slide during movement and provides the support you need without restricting mobility excessively.
