Stabilizing the hip joint is important because it assists in stabilizing the knee joint and decreasing knee pain. One way to remember the importance of hip stabilization as it relates to knee stabilization is that proximal stability equals distal mobility.
A Hip Brace is typically used after a person has dislocated his/her hip or after a hip replacement revision surgery. It is used to prevent excessive motion in the hip to promote healing. The brace should be worn 24 hours per day unless otherwise instructed by your doctor.
