ABSTRACT:
A reusable knee support structure comprises an inner layer of a resilient material, such as neoprene rubber, and an outer layer of a relatively non-resilient but flexible material, such as Dacron.RTM. sail cloth, that is secured as a pair of mirror image sections to the outside surface of the inner layer. A pair of articulated linkages, each made of a material such as roller or bicycle chain, is disposed between the inner and outer layers on each side of the center line of the support structure. The resilient layer is snugly wrapped around the knee of a human with an aperture in the inner layer positioned over the kneecap. Hook and loop fastening panels may be secured to the structure to facilitate its application.
