Patella Stabilizer Brace

Patella Knee Bands, Straps, Stabilizers

Knee straps and bands effectively help in relieving knee pain caused by an inflammation of the Patella  tendon.  This type of pain is usually occurs as a result of activities from running,  jumping,  or other sporting events that you may not normally do, causing an overloading of the Patella tendon.  Knee straps or Patella bands provide mild support and help compress the Patella tendon producing  some immediate pain relief.


Knee Supports/Sleeves
Prophylactic (pronounced: pro-fa-lac-tick) braces/ Knee Sleeve Supports.
This specific type of knee support brace was designed to protect a persons knees from injuries during sports or any type of athletic activity.  It comes in a variety of different materials and designs.  The knee sleeves we carry provide warmth, protection, and help promote healing of typical mild injuries such as strains, sprains, and arthritis.

Knee Immobilizers
Rehabilitative braces/ Knee Immobilizers.
Knee Immobilizers help to limit medial to lateral movements and aid in limiting extension and flexion of the knee joint after an injury or surgery.  Often times these braces, although useful, will be larger because they need to control / immobilize your leg more.
 

Ligament Knee Braces
Unloader/Offloader Ligament Braces.

Ligament knee braces are designed to provide relief to people who have arthritis in their knees (Osteoarthritis Knee Braces), or improper alignment.  For those involved in sports the (Off-The-Shelf Ligament Braces) prove most effective in supporting the athlete in their everyday routines.  In general, both brace types help to keep proper alignment of the joint.  Varus or Valgus stress is where one compartment of your knee is starting to have irregular mechanical alignment and a ligament brace can provide the necessary support.
