Why Does My Knee Brace Slide Down? – 3 Reasons Why Your Knee Support Might be Fitting You Wrong
Are you having any kind of trouble with the fit of your knee brace?
Here are some of the things that you need to look out for when you are having trouble with your knee brace.
1.) If your knee support has hinges, then it is a good idea to make sure the hinges are located properly at the side of the knee joint. It is also a good idea to make sure it is not twisted or crooked. If the hinges are not lined up very well, and the brace is crooked, this will make one hinge slide forward in comparison to the other. When the joint on the knee brace is not aligned properly, a simple movement like straightening or bending your knee can feel imbalanced.
2.) Usually, knee supports are made so that everyone from outside of you can read the writing on the brace the right way up. Typically, you should not be able to look down at the brace, while it is on you and be able to read everything very easily.
What we are trying to say here is that if people from outside of you can read the brand name of your brace the right way up, that means that you have the brace on right side up (ie. it is not upside down).
At first glance, many knee supports can look the same (even if they are not right side up) and we have seen some people put the brace on upside down; even doctors. Therefore, we decided to include this section about making sure the brace is right side up.
3.) Is the knee support falling down when you have it on your leg? Well, one of the reasons why this can occur is that the knee brace is not on snug enough. When you get a knee brace, no matter what brand it is etc., it is important for you to make sure the brace feels snug (not tight so it cuts off your circulation. – There is a balance.) A loose brace will slide down and do you no good!
Moreover, if you are having trouble with the brace fitting you properly, you should think about when you got it. Although some knee supports will last you a long time, you will need to think about whether the elastic material is over stretched. If you use an elastic knee support, for example, and you wear it when you work out or walk a good distance then you are naturally going to sweat. – Over 12 – 24 months, for example, this might all add up and make the stretchy part of the brace loose some of its elasticity. This can cause issues for you if you are trying to get the brace to fit as good as possible.
