ABSTRACT:
A knee brace including an elastic sleeve stretchable circumferentially, a flexible sheet non-stretchable in a circumferential direction secured to the interior of the sleeve configured and dimensioned to surround a substantial portion of the user's patella, and a resilient pad stretchable at least circumferentially secured to the flexible inelastic sheet. By reason of the inelastic characteristics of the flexible sheet to which the resilient elastic pads are mounted, the pads are not circumferentially displaced or dislocated from their normal position proximate the periphery of the patella when the knee is bent and the elastic sleeve stretches circumferentially. Thus, patella support and protection is maintained regardless of the extent of knee flexure.
