A member asked:
Does wearing a knee brace interfere with strengthening the quads? what is the best brace for stabilizing the knee in particular maltracking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely Not, as: One can play sports in them without any major problems. For maltracking, a patellar brace with a doughnut, to stabilize the patella, is very useful.
