The musculoskeletal system is a unique system that provides a person with freedom of action. Thanks to joint structures, people can enjoy dancing and favorite sports, running and walking, so it is important to constantly take care of their health and functionality.
How to choose a bandage on the knee joint?
Medical devices designed to prevent and treat injuries and leg diseases (calipers) can be classified as follows:
- Preventive bandage on the knee. Used for regular competitions, training and risk of leg injuries . Elastic bandage on the knee is often recommended to athletes and individuals whose work involves long walking or wearing weights. Suitable for people with weight disorders (excess).
- Therapeutic bandage on the knee joint. It is prescribed for degenerative cartilage pathologies, traumas of meniscus formations and calyx, acute and chronic processes with internal inflammation.
- Fixing bandage on the knee. It is used to restrain motor abilities during therapy and rehabilitation ( orthosis ), or complete immobilization instead of gypsum tires (tutors).
Bandage on knee for playing sports
This orthopedic dressing is necessary to provide additional support for the cartilaginous and ligamentous joints. Elastic bandage on the knee joint of a modern sample is made of soft, dense and well-stretching materials that produce a compressive effect. The device does not provoke allergic epidermal reactions and irritations, it retains heat and increases the intensity of hemodynamics.
Used knee bandage is used for sports, prevention of conjugated ligament ruptures and dangerous injuries of tendons. The dressing can also be worn to prevent pain, prevent puffiness and reduce shock stress on the feet with daily long walking, heavy weights, problems with excessive weight.
Bandage on the knee with arthrosis
Degenerative diseases of cartilaginous joints require more rigid fixation and support. For this, additional elements are included in the therapeutic bandage on the knee joint:
- silicone rings;
- plastic or metal inserts of reduced flexibility;
- elastic and firm correctors;
- side seals;
- front cushion.
A therapeutic bandage on the knee joint is prescribed for arthrosis, similar to the pathologies of the cartilage. The device guarantees:
- preservation of the heat of the skin surface;
- improvement of tissue metabolism;
- intensification of blood circulation;
- control of the correct position and stability of the joint structures;
- a decrease in stagnation of fluid and manifestations of uncomfortable sensations;
- decrease shock load on the leg when walking.
Bandage on knee with a meniscus injury
The damage described significantly worsens the functionality and mobility of the limb due to the loss of depreciation. As part of the treatment of this injury, doctors recommend wearing a compression bandage on the knee joint. The device is made of high-density material, resistance to tearing and elasticity, performs the correct pressure distribution and reduces the load.
The use of this bandage on the knee joint quickly helps:
- to activate the production of a cartilaginous layer;
- prevent the displacement of the meniscus;
- reduce the intensity of pain;
- reduce edema;
- balance the temperature of the epidermis and muscles;
- improve blood flow;
- prevent concomitant injuries and inflammations;
- normalize mobility;
- accelerate recovery.
Heating bandage on the knee joint
Therapy of arthritis and other inflammatory cartilage diseases involves periodic restriction of limb movements, flexion and extension. These functions are performed by a bandage on the knee joint with ribs of stiffness made of medical metal or plastic. These additional elements ensure a stable, safe and comfortable foot locking in the required position.
The strengthened support has several favorable actions:
- Micromassage;
- compression;
- heating;
- stabilizing.
The presented orthopedic bandage on the knee produces the following effects:
- stimulates the restoration of joint tissues;
- reduces pain and swelling;
- contributes to the reduction of the inflammatory process;
- improves blood flow.
Knee joint bandage with hinges
In case of serious injuries, including fractures and ligament ruptures, severe trauma to the tendons, orthoses or tutors are used. This is a rigid bandage for fixing the knee joint, limiting the extensor functions and mobility. The mechanism can be used instead of an inconvenient plaster bandage, the device also reliably stabilizes the leg in the chosen position.
Multifunctional knee joint with metal hinges is indispensable in the period of hospital or home rehabilitation after trauma or surgical intervention. The regulators on it provide a limitation of the amplitude of the movements depending on the success of the recovery, it can be metered in to reduce and increase on the basis of the appointments of the traumatologist.
