Four ligaments and the patella tendon support the patella (knee). A stretch or tear in the tendon is termed a “strain,” whereas a stretch or tear in one of the four ligaments is termed a “sprain”.
Sudden stops and changes in direction, overuse or intense strenuous activity, and blows to either side of the patella causes stretching and tearing of ligaments and tendons in the knee.
Localized tenderness over the patella with gradual pain occurring with an increase in physical activity. Sitting, squatting, jumping and climbing/ descending stairs can cause discomfort, while prolonged sedentary behaviour may worsen these factors at the onset of activity.
A stretch in the tendon/ligament can cause patella instability. A compression brace can provide stability, reduce inflammation, promote blood flow and speed up healing.
Recommended by The Bracing Experts
The M-Brace Air Patella is a knee brace designed to provide optimal support and protection following muscle, joint, or tendon injuries in the patella region, making it an ideal solution for those suffering from Patella strain/sprain.
This brace is constructed exclusively from breathable, hypoallergenic fabrics (neoprene-free). The area that comes into contact with the skin is soft 100% cotton, providing a comfortable fit for extended use.
It features two unique C-shaped pressure pads which surround and stabilize the patella, providing the required pressure to be varied in three different areas. The brace also comes with two low profile 2 mm super light rods to keep the brace in place and two multi-centric molded aluminum hinges (LATERAL and MEDIAL, product 41 only) for improved lateral support in cases of patella-related pathologies associated with minor instability of medial and/or lateral collateral ligaments.
The M-Brace Air Patella Stabilizer is suitable for traumatic pathologies such as instability of the patella, sub-dislocations of the patella, femur-patella arthrosis, fractures of the patella, and post-op conditions. It also provides passive support during rehabilitation and protection during sporting activities.
With its unique pressure pads, multi-centric molded aluminum hinges, and comfortable fabric construction, the M-Brace Patella Stabilizer is an ideal solution for those suffering from Patella strain/sprain, providing optimal support and protection during recovery and physical activity.
