The PSB Knee Brace is effective at treating acute injuries to the knee caused as a result of an uncontrolled movement (as a result of which the coordination between the upper leg and the lower leg fails to function), a collision with another player, or a fall. In any of these events, the ligaments and/or menisci may be damaged. The PSB Knee Brace reduces pain by applying compression around the knee joint.

IMPORTANT
Correct use of your brace requires a detailed diagnosis of the cause of your pain complaints or instability. Always consult your GP, a physiotherapist or a specialist before applying the brace. Knee injuries should always be examined by a sport physiotherapist, sport physician and/or orthopaedic specialist.

Sizing

The PSB Knee Brace is available in 4 sizes, universal for left and right. For the correct size, measure around the lower leg, just below the knee.

Applying the Brace

Step 1

The elastic strap and the pale-blue power net must first be completely separated, before being tightened. The power net must then be pulled downwards. The stiffened section should be positioned to just below the kneecap. Because of the tight fit, putting on the knee brace may take some effort at first.

Step 2

The elastic strap should be closed just above the calf.

Step 3

The hook & loop fastener closure of the pale-blue power net is attached to the upper edge of the brace. The power net can now be pulled upwards and closed around the edge of the brace.

Step 4

Finally, the front of the power net must be closed. By selecting the correct position for the hook & loop fastener strip connections, the pressure can be individually adjusted.

How do I choose a brace?

If a brace has been prescribed or recommended, it is wise to go to a professional establishment that specialises in medical aids or rehabilitation articles. Some physiotherapists sell braces and they can also give you good advice. Choosing the right size and type of brace requires additional know-how. Always consult an expert for this kind of specialised work.
