A member asked:
I am recovering from a recent stroke and apparently have hyperextended the knee in my weak side. can that be helped? is there a brace for that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: you should be in a supervised rehab program. Hopefully the weakness in the muscles will improve. The therapist or supervising doctor should be able to order an appropriate brace.
