ABSTRACT:
A knee support or wrap especially designed for athletes stabilizes the knee ligaments and provides continuous support for the knee regardless of the position of the leg. A tubular, elastic sheath is slipped over the knee, and a pair of elastic straps anchored to the sheath are drawn into place and held by Velcro fasteners. The straps in their operative positions extend in crisscross fashion over the inwardly facing sidewall portion of the sheath, and in directions to duplicate the physiologic stability of the medial knee ligament complex. Felt pads on the sheath under the straps add body to the support, prevent bunching of the elastic sheath, and aid in the distribution of the pressure applied by the elastic straps. The support contains no rigid components and is constructed so as to not impair the normal flexibility of the knee joint.
