While the NFL and NBA allow knee braces, it is important for other players to check with their league officials about the use of such a knee brace. The DonJoy Enhanced Drytex Playmaker has been used in these sports : football, basketball, baseball, soccer, skiing, motocross, tennis and racquetball; just to name a few. - You may even see Tiger Woods wearing one soon since he seriously injured his knee!

What the Playmaker will do for you?

The DonJoy Playmaker is designed to give your knee stability in many directions (front/back and side-to-side). It supports your knee and its ligaments to help promote healing, if you have been injured. Moreover, this brace provides long-term support for ligaments that have been torn and not reconstructed (such as an ACL). If you have had surgery and want some extra support when you return to sports, this is the knee brace for you.

The point is that life can not always just slow down because you have hurt your knee. If you slow down a little, this is fine, but to help you feel more stable, a well made knee brace can be the perfect adjunct to your daily activities to help provide meaningful support and to reduce your knee pain.
