Can a knee brace reduce the strain in the anterior cruciate ligament? A study using combined in vivo/in vitro method

Abstract: Prophylactic knee brace could reduce the strain in the anterior cruciate ligament of high-risk subjects during drop-landing through altered muscle firing pattern associated with brace wear. This could help reduce the anterior cruciate ligament injury risk.

“…A study with an altogether different approach evaluated the effect of a PKB during dynamic activities such as drop-landing in a high risk subject (12). They compared ACL strain in braced and unbraced conditions, showing that wearing the knee brace resulted in a 55% reduction in peak ACL strain.…”

“…They compared ACL strain in braced and unbraced conditions, showing that wearing the knee brace resulted in a 55% reduction in peak ACL strain. However, according to the authors, the reduction was a result of altered muscle-firing pattern due to the presence of the brace, rather than its mechanical effect, potentially reducing ACL injury risk (12).…”

“…Whereas operative treatment aims to reduce laxity, non-operative treatments aim to reduce functional instability and both thereby prevent further damage to the menisci and cartilage, which may contribute to post-traumatic osteoarthritis [ 58 , 84 ]. Functional bracing, intended to reduce the risk of ACL injury by decreasing peak ligament strain, has not yet been conclusively shown to achieve this goal, as the evidence is still limited [ 29 , 75 ].…”

“…The RC brace is designed to apply a larger valgus moment than the UF brace. A combined in vivo, in silico and in vitro dynamic approach developed by previous works [23][24][25][26] is used in this study to investigate three activities of typical daily living including a two-legged squat (2LS), one-legged squat (1LS) and walk (WLK). This study hypothesizes the following: i. Unloader knee braces decrease the strain in the medial meniscus during dynamic activities.…”
