Secure freedom of movement

Sports Knee Support improves the movement of the knee during longer sporting activities through gentle, beneficial compression and protects against overloading. The support surrounds the knee joint. An anatomically contoured pad surrounds the kneecap. This special functional element captures and disperses pressure peaks. When the knee moves, the pad and the knitted fabric massage the connective tissue and the muscles.

Activation of sensorimotor processes

The integrated elastic pressure cushion (pad) wraps around the kneecap to protect it and helps to position the support correctly. During movement, a massage effect is generated by the distortion of the pad and the compressing knit, which activates the surrounding muscles and stimulates circulation. This helps to relieve pain and reduce swelling more quickly. The support also activates sensorimotor processes which improve muscle control. As well as providing passive stabilization for the knee, it therefore provides more active support too.

• Stabilizes the knee joint and activates the muscles
• the combination of splints and straps provides secure support
• the flexion and extension angle of the leg can be restricted

Indications

• Mild to moderate instability 
• Osteoarthritis of the knee 
• Arthritis (e.g. primary chronic polyarthritis) 
• Meniscus injuries

Features

• New knitting concept: particularly stretchy, breathable and moisture wicking for excellent wearing comfort especially in the popliteal area.
• The sidebars are additionally secured with circular, inelastic straps.
• Special knitting techniques make the support extremely comfortable to wear, including behind the knee.
• The anatomically shaped bars can be heated and reshaped and are inserted in lateral guide channels.
• A circular viscoelastic insert surrounds the patella and facilitates correct positioning of the support.

Mode of action

• The combination of joint bars and a strap system provides added passive support to the knee.
• The positive effect on the sensorimotor system provides added active support to the knee.
• Knee activity moves the padded ring, thereby massaging the parapatellar soft tissue structures.
• The compression and massage effects accelerate the reabsorption of edema and effusions.
