Pro-Tec Patellar Knee Tendon Strap
General Application: Great for alleviating moderate knee pain, especially in areas under and surrounding the knee cap, the Pro-Tec Patella Knee
Strap helps alleviate symptoms of tendinitis, chondromalacia,
Iliotibial Band Syndrome, Osgood-Schlatter's Disease, and other knee
ailments. Simple and easy to use, and used by athletes and medical
practitioners. What Causes These Types of Injuries: Very
often the causes are related to overuse, repetitive strain and
biomechanical issues, such as pronation, all of which may cause injury
to the knee. How It Works: The Knee
Pro-Tec provides compression on the patellar tendon, which helps to
spread pressure uniformly across the patellar tendon, reducing
discomfort and irritation. This compression can also help stabilize the
patella, improving its tracking. The Knee Pro-Tec also absorbs stress
and strain 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. |
