| Popis: | In brief Knee bracing can affect an athbrief lete's performance or rehabilitation, and the decision to brace can have ethical and liability implications as well. When prescribing a brace, a clinician must take into account brace function, construction, and the type of support it can provide for the athlete's knee. Sports medicine professionals can ensure patient compliance by prescribing a comfortable, yet functional, brace and by letting them know what to realistically expect from wearing the device. |
