Who Can Make Gains With the Oppo Hinged Knee Support?
For athletes engaged in various sports that involve dynamic movements, there is excess force placed on the knees and a greater range of motion required from the joints.

Why Are Hinged Braces Good for Weak or Injured Knees?
Using a hinged knee brace as opposed to a compression sleeve or support provides medial and lateral support to unstable knees due to its motion hinges designed to control the scope of movement allowed in the knee. This offers increased stabilisation by providing controlled and monitored movement in the joint and tendons to reduce the risk of over-exertion.
Wraparound Design for Less Mobile Individuals
The OPPO Hinged Knee Stabiliser includes a front opening design which makes this brace a suitable fit for the injured, arthritic or elderly individuals who may struggle pulling a knee support up over their foot. Compared to compression sleeves and other supports, this offers a much more accessible design for those with restricted mobility.
Open Patella to Relieve Pressure
The open patella design relieves pressure on the kneecap and the reinforced patella stabiliser prevents displacement and excessive movement. This, in turn, helps to provide structural stability to the knee and the surrounding muscle, helping to control and limit unwanted movement during exercise.
Suitable for Post-Operative Rehabilitation
If you've undergone knee surgery or ACL reconstruction and are in the late stages of recovery, looking to get back to the track or field with little disruption to your knee, the Oppo Knee Support is the perfect brace to cradle your joints and muscles, offering that additional level of stability.
