Enjoying Summer Activities with the Provoke and Evoke Knee Braces

As summer approaches, many patients wonder, “Can I enjoy summer activities while wearing my knee brace?” With OssKin knee braces, the answer is a resounding, “yes”! 

Innovation and Comfort in Knee Bracing

OssKin prioritizes innovation to help individuals regain mobility and confidence, despite injuries or conditions that may compromise their quality of life. Our Provoke™ and Evoke™ knee braces are designed to provide relief and support during various activities, ensuring a stress-free summer.

Lightweight Knee Braces for Comfort in Hot Summers

Our Provoke™ ligament knee brace and Evoke™ unloader knee brace are crafted using advanced 3D printing technology. This allows us to personalize each brace, optimizing material use to maintain a lightweight design. At just 6-8 mm (about 0.31 in) thick, the brace can be comfortably worn under clothing, providing discretion and ease during movement, particularly in hot weather. 

Swimming with Your Brace

The Provoke and Evoke knee braces are made from robust, water-resistant materials, making them suitable for swimming in pools or the sea. Water will not damage your brace, nor will it feel cumbersome when submerged. After swimming, it’s important to hand-clean the brace with clear water to remove any residues or bacteria and air-dry it thoroughly. 

Gardening and Hiking

Each knee brace is uniquely customized to accommodate various pathologies and morphologies. Designed to follow the natural three-dimensional movement of the knee, the brace does not impede leg mobility. This allows individuals with varying levels of osteoarthritis or ligament deficiencies to continue activities such as gardening and hiking without discomfort. For added comfort during physical activities, wearing leggings or knee undersleeves under the brace is recommended. 

Returning to Sports

For those recovering from a cruciate ligament tear, the Provoke™ knee brace supports a gradual return to non-contact sports. This includes activities like tennis, golf, hiking, recreational soccer, or surfing. However, contact sports such as rugby, football, lacrosse, hockey, or field hockey are not recommended due to the potential impact on the brace.
