A knee brace can be helpful and beneficial to a weak knee if worn properly, according to Philly.com.
Here are five health tips:
1. Physicians suggest wearing a knee brace during sports or other enduring physical activities.
2. Put the brace on properly, so the hinges line up with the bend of the knee.
3. Make sure the fasteners are properly applied around the leg.
4. When exercising, check the brace occasionally to make sure that it hasn't slipped out of position.
5. There are different types of knee braces, and some may be recommended after knee surgery or an injury, such as a torn ligament.
