Article Synopsis
- Braces and splints are used to immobilize joints, relieve pain, reduce swelling, and aid in healing, applicable for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
- The medial unloading knee brace may help osteoarthritis patients, while a patellar stabilizing brace shows mixed results for knee pain; however, a patellar tendon strap effectively treats tendinopathy.
- Functional ankle braces outperform immobilization in treating ankle sprains, and while thumb spica splints are good for thumb issues, wrist splints only slightly help carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms.
