General Application: Great for alleviating moderate knee pain,
especially in areas under and surrounding the knee cap. Medical
Applications: Knee Pro-Tec, "The Original Neoprene Knee Strap" helps
alleviate symptoms of tendonitis, chondromalacia,
Iliotibial Band
Syndrome, Osgood-Schlatter's Disease, and other knee ailments.
How It Works: Knee Pro-Tec provides compression on the
patellar tendon, helping spread pressure uniformly across the patellar
tendon, reducing discomfort and irritation. This compression may also
help stabilize your patella, improving its tracking. In addition, Knee
Pro-Tec absorbs stress to the knee, reducing vibrations in the femoral
groove.
Design Theory: The Knee Pro-Tec patellar tendon strap is
designed to provide consistent pressure on the patellar tendon. The
strap is made from neoprene, which stretches, allowing it to stay
comfortably in place. Tubing, sewn into the neoprene, is used to provide
gentle compression and a plastic loop is utilized to make it easier to
adjust. The strap attaches with a velcro closure.
