ABSTRACT:
A joint protective apparatus is disclosed that is particularly well adapted to support and cushion the knee joint when kneeling. The apparatus includes a light weight, flexible support material wrap selectively positionable about the joint and having a retaining enclosure thereat positioned to be proximate the knee joint and upper shin area when properly positioned. A pad having plural compartments therein for containing a flowable material is receivable in, and substantially fills, the retaining enclosure. A relatively rigid yet deformable protective cap having a wedge shaped support platform configured to extend between the knee joint and the upper shin area is fastened to the wrap over the retaining enclosure.
