I ruptured my ACT about 10 years ago while playing football but was advised not to have it repaired due to the work I was doing at the time which would have meant I could not work for up to 6 months. I have always kept up the strengthening exercises I was given and have played football since without problems but last week when playing 5 a side I twisted my knee which hurt a lot - no damage done but this happens every now and then due to movement in the joint I think. My question is, can a knee brace help me to continue playing football and stop the incidents of movement in my knee?

note: the football I play is not massively competitive
