Knee brace

My 84 year old Mum has RA and her knee is letting her down causing her to fall over. The NHS fitted her for a knee brace but it was too difficult for her to put on. She has had knee braces in the past - Velcro & sleeves - but they are no longer giving her enough support. Can anyone recommend a more sturdy option.

Thank you

Jill

The best person to ask is the appliance department where she was fitted. Always worth going back and explaining the options and asking their advice about what else might help better.
