Hey I'm about to head back into the world of competitive sports after 6months out with an ACL tear, just wondering what people think about Knee braces? are they effective? My knee feels great so it would just be an extra precaution if i did wear one, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks The Tarf

We have a feature article on bracing here and a discussion about the right kind of brace here.
Personally, I think that it wouldn't hurt to be safe and protect your knee from future injury.
Good luck with your return to competitive sports!

Hi,
I am a physical therapist and certified athletic trainer. Braces can be helpful in providing more awareness of your knee but it will not protect your knee for another injury. A fully rehabed knee should not need a brace. If you feel better with the brace, go ahead and use one. Just don't think it will add more protection.
