ABSTRACT:
A high-flexibility knee support comprising a main body portion for covering the knee cap and surrounding area having securing straps extending from each side of the main body portion which are adapted to be wrapped around the knee and secured at the back of the knee. The straps are substantially less in width than the main body portion having straps for being secured comfortably and non-restrictively behind the knee. The knee support is further comprised of pressure-application straps which are attached to the main body portion above and below the knee cap. The pressure-application straps run from one side of the main body portion to the other side of the main body portion and are used to adjust the support given to the knee cap and patellar tendons. The adjusting straps can be adjusted and held in place via threading through rings attached to the main body portion and their construction from mating fractional fastening material, respectively.
