The supports and braces for kids aren't just made in the appropriate sizes for children, they're also made to be visually more fun with colourful prints than the versions for adults. The braces and supports have adjustable straps that make them easy to put on and take off, so older kids can do it themselves. This way, they get to actively take part in the treatment of their injuries, giving them a sense of responsibility and agency.
Once the injury is stabilized with the brace or support and the pain is reduced, kids want to go back to playing and running around, as much as their condition allows. That means that their braces tend to get dirtier quicker than adult braces. If the braces have splints or otherwise rigid parts, they can usually be easily cleaned with a wet cloth and soap. Fabric supports can for the most part be machine-washed but be careful to check the washing instructions for your product before washing it.
If your child is going to be wearing a brace or support for an extended period of time, it might be helpful to get two, so that you can always have a clean one on hand and your child's injury is still supported while the other brace or support is being cleaned.
