Kneecap Dislocation

Kneecap dislocation (also known as patellar dislocation) is most common in people who've had previous sporting injuries, but can also affect those with joint issues that lead them to dislocate easily, like EDS, hyper-mobility or other genetic problems. Supporting the joint with a kneecap dislocation brace allows for normal movement of the knee without the constant fear of the often painful and uncomfortable issue of kneecap dislocation.

Will these help with my knee injury?

Bauerfeind's range of knee sleeves work effectively at treating a range of issues, injuries and symptoms that affect the knee. Extensively tested in a wide range of clinical situations, they're one fo the best ways to effectively recover long term from injury.

Will these weaken my muscles?

While cheaper and less effective braces can cause an issue known as reliance (where the muscles become weaker and rely on the brace), Bauerfeind have perfected the blend of stability and movement. By restricting or immobilising specific parts of the ankle that need it, and freeing up the rest, you can continue to exercise, building and maintaining strength in the joint.
