KNEE BANDS
|
|
Knee Bands or Straps are devices that focus compression on the patellar tendon to help decrease the stress at the tibial tubercle. This stress is the cause of many orthopedic conditions including Patella Tendonitis (jumper's knee/runner's knee) and Osgood Schlatter's disease. Most knee bands are a one size fits most.
Under repeated stress with certain sports, an overuse of the patella tendon can occur, referred to as Patella Tendonitis. This can often lead to inflammation and even a partial tearing of the tendon. Injury to this area often affects athletes involved in jumping or throwing sports.
