- Prophylactic braces, which are worn to prevent injury during activities such as sports
- Functional braces, which are worn to aid in recovery from an injury or surgery
- Rehabilitative braces, which are worn after an injury or surgery to support the knee during the healing process
- Unloader braces, which are used to offload pressure from a specific area of the knee, such as in the case of osteoarthritis
