ABSTRACT:
A support for encircling the knee to give support and protection to both the skeletal and muscular structure of the joint. The support includes a tubular device having several separate resilient protective pads attached thereto. A patella cover pad member is positioned on the anterior side of the support to cover and protect the patella and its retinaculum. Medial and lateral pad members are positioned on the strap to engage the knee, extending rearwardly over medial and lateral sides thereof from the patella cover member. The posterior surface of the knee is covered by a flexure pad member. The several independent members allow flexion and extension of the leg while providing both support and protective padding for the knee joint.
