KNEE HYPEREXTENSION CAUSE AND SOLUTIONS

Dec 14th 2019

What is knee hyperextension?

Knee hyperextension occurs when the joint is forced out of its normal range of motion. A mild hyperextension will lead to some pain and swelling. A more severe hyperextension can affect one or more of the four major ligaments of the knee, theACL, PCL, MCL, or LCL.

What causes knee hyperextension?

Hyperextension occurs after a direct force to the knee while the leg is straightened. This injury can occur to anyone but is most commonly seen in athletes who participate in contact sports. Hyperextension can also be caused by a bad fall or a car accident.

What are the symptoms of knee hyperextension?

If you hyperextend your knee, you will often feel like it was bent backwards, or in the wrong direction. Symptoms include pain, swelling and bruising, and it will be painful to bend or straighten your knee.

What is the best knee brace for knee hyperextension?

A mild to moderate sprain resulting from hyperextension can take 2-4 weeks to heal. During this time, the right knee brace can provide swelling control and hinges for joint stability. BioSkin Knee braces are designed to address the pain and swelling as well as restore stability to the joint while the ligaments and tendons heal.

Testimonials

I recently bought a knee brace from Bioskin. The service was amazing. Kelly was pleasant, helpful, and very patient. She wanted to make sure I got the best brace that would work for me. She never made me feel rushed. She wasn't sure I had the best brace and she consulted with Angela. Angela was knowledgeable, informative, and also very patient. The brace was helpful, but unfortunately it was too tight after working all night. They exchanged it the following day without any hassle. I highly recommend Bioskin and would definitely use them again if needed.

Staff very helpful and we had to call a head to see what time they closed because we had drive across town and because it was almost 4pm we called them at 3:40pm and my daughter really needed a hand brace because she just found out she is a high risk pregnancy and has pregnancy induced carpal tunnel so she really needed a brace so we called and they said they closed at 4pm but because we had to drive there they stayed open till we got there and she was able to get her brace. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HELPFUL AND KIND.

Went with wife for her bone-on-bone knee issues. Angela and Terri were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so nice. They identified two that best fit my wife's description of issues and after fitting them, she chose the one that was best for her. They stand behind their products...if you need a brace, this is the place.
