There are so many types of knee & elbow baces / supports etc & I am lost. I do not have any problems per se but due to age I feel diffculty when getting up from sitting etc. I am looking for preventive type of knww brace or support or whatever you call it. I play mostly mid distance about 1200-1300 rating As far a as elbow I have no problem either except it hurts below my elbow a little if I backhand loop a lot. (It doe snot hurt with forehand loops I have no idea what a tennis elbow is and is it pain at the elbow itself or does it include below & above elbow ? I even sometimes wonder if people are making up stuff about having tennis elbow to be fashionable Also should I wear an ankle support ? What are your recommendations. Are compression type support the best ? I also see many pro players wear small bands or brace or support whatever, below and above the knee or elbow. Is it better than compression type ? Again all my questions are for preventive action due to age and proactive & not reactive (no existing major issue) TIA

I ordered a pair of compression type knee support on Ebay for about $10 I think elbow support is the same. I alrerady have this I still wonder why most pros wear the one below https://www.ebay.com/itm/333828222142?hash=item4db9b66cbe%3Ag%3AtmoAAOSwb7xf2FOB&LH_BIN=1&LH_ItemCondition=1000" rel="nofollow - https://www.ebay.com/itm/333828222142?hash=item4db9b66cbe%3Ag%3AtmoAAOSwb7xf2FOB&LH_BIN=1&LH_ItemCondition=1000 I am not a doctor but curious what they recommend |

An elbow suggestion might be something like this below?. I've seen a few of the players I know wear something similar with a kind of compression sleeve type thing. I can only find these sites in Europe. https://www.solidea.com/en/art-silver-support-elbow" rel="nofollow - https://www.solidea.com/en/art-silver-support-elbow https://www.pebbleuk.com/products/56/solidea-silver-support-elbow?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlemWBhDUARIsAFp1rLUjLYuVuFRwsmqb4mHmci8V4DmxgTJdTEe1L3Ynn_P9VjpuAOqZVQQaApUdEALw_wcB" rel="nofollow - https://www.pebbleuk.com/products/56/solidea-silver-support-elbow?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlemWBhDUARIsAFp1rLUjLYuVuFRwsmqb4mHmci8V4DmxgTJdTEe1L3Ynn_P9VjpuAOqZVQQaApUdEALw_wcB Not sure if that might point you in the right direction as a start? Cheers

My guess (also not a doctor) is that this type of knee brace supports the knee when you have an issue with ACL or LCL weakness or tears. So a player with an injured ACL or LCL might choose this type of brace. There may be other reasons to use this I'm not aware of. ------------- Donic Waldner World Champion 1989 ZLC (Inner), Donic BlueStorm Pro (Red) Max, ????? (Black) 1.8 mm) |
