Effects of Bracing

Support

  • Controls excess movement.
  • Limits the ability of the affected body part to get into an unstable and vulnerable position.
  • Prevent injury and re-injury.

Warmth

  • Heat helps the muscles to relax.
  • Reduces stiffness, soreness and increases circulation.
  • Makes it easier for oxygen to be absorbed.

Compression

  • Reduces swelling.

Protection

  • As muscles tire and reflexes slow from fatigue, stresses that were normally absorbed by muscles are transferred to the joints. The additional support of a brace can help reduce this stress.

Proprioception and psychological effect

  • Increases awareness of the injured body part.
  • Feeling of security.

Results of Bracing

Pain Reduction

  • Restoration of normal body position and muscle activation patterns.

Prevention

  • Through re-establishing functional joint stability, enhancing the necessary natural healing mechanisms and through smooth controlled limitation of potentially harmful ranges of motion.

Performance Enhancement

  • Indirectly through decreased repetitive strain trauma, decreased onset of muscular fatigue and the reduced occurrence of muscle cramping.
