Providing Support, Stability, and Rehabilitation for Knee Joints

Knee braces are orthopedic devices designed to provide support, stability, and protection to the knee joint. They can be used for various purposes, including injury prevention, post-injury rehabilitation, pain relief, and management of certain medical conditions.

Before determining whether you need a custom or an over-the-counter knee brace, your certified pedorthist will complete a thorough assessment on your knee. The assessment may involve a physical examination, medical history review, imaging (X-rays or MRIs, if applicable), and discussions about your activity level and lifestyle.

Custom Route

  • A custom knee brace is designed to provide the best fit and optimal support to the knee.
  • Whether you have severe osteoarthritis, a torn ACL, or meniscus pain, our custom-designed braces will offload the forces in your knee and allow you to walk in a biomechanically-aligned position.
  • Perfect Fit Orthotics uses custom measuring devices and/or 3D scanning techniques to capture precise measurements of your lower leg, knee, and thigh. This means that each custom brace is designed to your specific needs.
  • Our most popular custom knee brace is the Osskin Evoke and Provoke, which uses a digitized scanner, is 3D printed, and weighs in at only ½ a pound, making it the lightest brace on the market. We are also partnered with Medi, DonJoy, and Bauerfeind.
  • Once you have chosen your custom knee brace and your certified pedorthist has completed all measurements, it only takes one to two weeks to get your brace.
  • Most custom knee braces are covered by insurance. All you need is a prescription from a physician with the properly diagnosed medical condition or aliment.

Over-The-Counter Route

  • An over-the-counter (OTC) knee brace is a pre-made, non-customized knee support device that are designed to provide basic support and stabilization to the knee joint
  • OTC knee braces come in various types, including sleeve-style, hinged, and patellar stabilizers. They are generally designed for mild to moderate knee issues, such as minor strains, sprains, general discomfort, or preventative support during physical activities.
  • Typically, OTC knee braces are available in a range of sizes so finding the right size and fit is important to ensure proper support and comfort.
  • OTC knee braces are generally more affordable than custom braces since they are mass-produced and not tailored to an individual's unique needs.
  • OTC knee braces may be covered by insurance if they contain rigid metal or plastic stays.
  • While OTC knee braces can offer some level of support and comfort, they may not be suitable for all cases.
