Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this brace suitable for post-dislocation recovery?
Yes, the brace’s hinge system limits hyperextension and supports controlled motion, making it ideal for recovery from dislocations, sprains, or ligament damage.
Can it help prevent elbow injuries during sports?
Absolutely. It provides lateral support and shock absorption, making it ideal for athletes with a history of elbow strain or hyperextension, especially in tennis, basketball, or weightlifting.
Does it restrict all movement of the elbow?
No, the hinge allows natural bending and movement of the elbow while only limiting dangerous overextension that could lead to reinjury.
Is it compatible with physiotherapy sessions?
Yes, it is recommended during active recovery phases as it offers protection without blocking motion needed in rehabilitation and mobility exercises.
How is it different from a basic elastic bandage?
The Oppo 1187 offers structured and targeted joint support via hinges and anatomical shaping, unlike an elastic wrap which provides only general compression.
