I know that the medical staff at UConn is absolutely top notch, but after the amount of research I did on ACL injuries, I wish they didn't have her in a brace. Braces have been shown to increase the chance of re-injuring the knee because of over compensation of other muscles in the area, therefore reducing the strength of the ligament you are working to protect. Just like wearing a back brace to lift heavy isn't a good idea for the same reason. Just my 2 cents, as I'm just a little college student =)
