ABSTRACT:
A patella stabilizer. The stabilizer has a sleeve to be received around a knee of a wearer. There is a support in the sleeve that has a first member to extend from beneath the wear's patella to a point over the wearer's tibia. Second, bifurcated members extend from the first member along each side of the patella when the patella stabilizer is in position on the wearer. In a preferred embodiment, there is a strap that extends around the wearer's leg, over the first member of the stabilizer.
