- The patella brace pushes against the patella tendon immediately below the patella, causing a slight tilting and relieving the cartilage at the back of the patella.
The viscoelastic pad in the Push Sports Patella Brace applies pressure to the patellar tendon immediately below the kneecap and reduces pain. Pressure on this tendon provides relief for the cartilage on the underside of the kneecap, and the tendon insertion point at the front. The brace is easy to apply, and to adjust to the tension that you require. This enables you to set the degree of compression, while the brace stays securely in place, partly because of the anti-slip properties of the pad.
The brace is used for a range of activities in which the patella tendon is subjected to heavy or recurrent strain, for example during jumping or running. This causes irritation to the patella tendon. Wearing the Push Sports Patella Brace relieves this irritation on the tendon and reduces pain.
Indications:
- Tendinitis of the patellar ligament
- Jumper's knee
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome
- Osgood-Schlatter disease
The patella brace pushes against the patella tendon immediately below the patella, causing a slight tilting and relieving the cartilage at the back of the patella. During each step, the brace provides supportive pressure on the patella tendon, absorbing shock and reducing the impact on the patella.
The patella brace is available in one size, universally applicable for the left and right sides.
