Knee support orthoses are wearable devices designed to stabilize, protect, or assist knee function after injury, surgery, or to prevent deformities. They may include hinges for enhanced support and are typically used for rehabilitation, pain relief, or to correct alignment issues in the knee joint.
These devices are generally reusable and classified as prefabricated orthopedic appliances, meaning they are mass-produced and not custom-made. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are typically subject to medical device standards ensuring safety, performance, and compliance with applicable orthopedic guidelines.
