CUSTOM KNEE BRACES

A custom knee brace is manufactured based on precise measurements of your leg and tailored for your specific injury, goals and activity. This process creates a brace that fits better, will be more comfortable, more supportive, won’t slide down, lets your leg breath more and fits slimmer under clothing. Custom knee braces are more durable, offer better warranties and have more color, accessory options and can be adjusted for your specific activity and injury.

Non-custom braces won’t capture knee joint angle or larger thigh to calf, calf to thigh ratios, have only a select number of sizes and tend to stretch and not fit well after short term use. Custom is the most effective way to both stabilize and protect your knee joint.

Depending on the manufacturer, they are usually made of metal, plastic and various soft materials. Metal frames can be made with titanium, carbon fiber, aluminum or magnesium. Each material has its benefits, Probracing can help recommend the best product for your needs.
