Brief Answer:
Can try but should identify the real problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I am sorry for the health situation your wife is in.

Yes can try knee brace for support, however I think should understand what the real problem with her knee is.

We need to identify that problem, and then treat it adequately.

Furthermore, we should ease her other symptoms ( please mention them in details) Iike pain apart helping her to move.

Hope this helps.
