Abstract
Knee bracing can affect an athletes 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 athletes 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.
