When and how long should I wear the ski knee brace?
The Physiostrap® Ski EPITACT® knee brace is designed for both beginner and experienced athletes experiencing patellar pain (patellar syndrome, tendinitis, osteoarthritis, etc.). It is worn only during dynamic activities (while in motion) and can be used for prevention or pain relief as it helps preserve muscle strength. Outside of sports activities, you can wear the medical knee brace throughout the day during daily activities.
How do I choose the right size?
Using a tape measure, measure the circumference of your knee in a semi-flexed position starting from the center of the kneecap. Then, refer to the size guide accessible at the top of the page. If you're unsure between two sizes, it's better to choose the smaller one.
What is its lifespan?
This knee support brace is made of durable fabric and high-quality materials, giving it an average lifespan of 6 months, provided that you follow the instructions for use and maintenance.
What is the difference compared to the Physiostrap® Sport EPITACT® knee brace?
The ski knee brace is specifically designed for sports involving repeated knee flexions. Compared to the Physiostrap® Sport, the tendon that surrounds the kneecap is doubled to enhance joint support. Additionally, the silicone bands on the thigh and calf are different to provide stronger support with the Physiostrap® Ski.
