What are the differences between sports protective gear and medical protective gear?

Protective gear is a tool to protect yourself from injury.
Generally it can be divided into head protectors, shoulder protectors, hand protectors, elbow protectors, wrist protectors, waist protectors, leg protectors, knee protectors, ankle protectors, combined sports protective gear, other sports protective gear, etc.
The main difference between the two is: wearing protective gear during exercise allows you to move freely. However, after you are injured during sports, wearing medical protective gear will limit your activities, let alone exercise.

Take sports wristbands and medical wristbands as examples:

1. The functions of sports wristbands: The first is to provide pressure and reduce swelling; the second is to limit activities and allow the injured part to recuperate.

2. Medical wristband: soft and elastic. The mezzanine is equipped with metal plastic stabilizing bars. It can support and reduce load on weak and overtired wrist joints.

All in all, protective gear is to protect your joints from injury. Sports protective gear can protect you from injury during exercise. Medical protective gear helps you stabilize and recover after you are injured to avoid being injured again.
