Message: [QUOTE="Cuseorange1044, post: 707006, member: 1026"] I am a physical therapist so i can shed some light. The knee braces we see the interior linemen wear stop varus and valgus stress on the knees from a medial and lateral force. Research shows they are effective in helping to prevent sprains to the mcl and lcl. Research also says they don't help avoid acl or pcl injuries which are typically caused involving rotational forces. Those braces have a bit of a psychological benefit for those with a history of ligament injuries. Indeed if the braces are worn too much the wearer will develop a dependency on the supportive qualities of the brace. [/QUOTE]
