Bracing is a frequent component of the acute treatment of orthopaedic injuries. The main purposes of bracing are to immobilise, provide support, decrease pain, and/or to redirect forces away from the injured area. Indirectly, braces also play a role as a kinesthetic reminder to patients of their limitations. The use of bracing in sports traumatology can be preventive and for rehabilitation after surgical or conservative treatment.

Abstract
Bracing is a frequent component of the acute treatment of orthopaedic injuries. The main purposes of bracing are to immobilise, provide support, decrease pain, and/or to redirect forces away from the injured area. Indirectly, braces also play a role as a kinesthetic reminder to patients of their limitations. The use of bracing in sports traumatology can be preventive and for rehabilitation after surgical or conservative treatment.File in questo prodotto:
