Proprioceptive knee brace
For the intervention group that randomly consisted of 15 subjects will be using a design of knee brace (Reaction Web®; DonJoy, Vista, CA). The elastomeric web design helps to reduce pain by dispersing load across the knee. The web acts like a spring to absorb shock and shifts the peak loads away from the painful area of the knee. Elastomeric web acts to dynamically stabilise the patella on all sides, bringing the patella into proper tracking position to reduce pain for patients with general patellofemoral instabilities. Reaction Web® has dual-axis hinges that are flexible, creating synergy with the elastomeric web for optimal fit and support, and providing energy dispersion to the knee.
