Baller RLW Posted July 27, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2015 Just wondering if anyone has a favorite brace to reduce the risk of knee injury in jumping? Just hurt my knee a couple weeks ago jumping and looking to get braces for my oldest son (13 yo). As for me, I'm retiring from jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted July 27, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2015 We bought something from Dick's for my son after he had a knee problem it seemed to help him feel a little more comfortable. I think this was the one http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11584724&cp=4406646.4413887.4414020.22937756&categoryId=4414374.

Administrators Horton Posted July 27, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 27, 2015 @Chef23 I really have to disagree about the value of that brace. Unless you use a rigid fitted brace I think you are wasting your time.

Baller Chef23 Posted July 27, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2015 @horton I pretty much agree with you. My son was coming back from a growth plate issue and it made him feel better. I am not sold that it made a big difference but I figured it couldn't hurt. He was fully cleared by his orthopod to go back to jumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller chris_logan Posted July 27, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2015 I just switched to using this brace: dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11584725&cp=4406646.4413887.4414020.22937756&categoryId=4414374. I'm not necessarily looking for a brace that prevents injury (nothing is 100% injury proof), but a brace that provides the most support under pressure. So far, I'm pleased with this one as it has a much more secure fit after it gets wet, compared to my previous brace (academy.com/shop/pdp/mcdavid-adults-ps-ii-hinged-knee-brace?repChildCatid=34004).
