Patella Optimum Tension Brace
Patella Brace
Using a patella brace to help relieve common knee pain (chondromalacia patella)
The patella brace, (also known as a patella strap or jumpers strap), from VertiBaX is one of the most advanced patella straps on the market to date with its simple yet affective strapping mechanism ensuring maximum comfort and a full range of tension fitments to brace around the knee.
The patella brace’s specially shaped neoprene insert offers a full range of pressures to be placed on the patella, assisting with correct tracking, relieving pain and inflammation.
This knee brace is made from a breathable neoprene based antibacterial treated foam with a hard wearing stretch nylon exterior lamination.
Jumpers Brace
The patella brace is frequently used by athletes, skiers, runners, cyclists, footballers and tennis players, hence the term, “Jumpers Brace”.
The patella strap can be worn for long periods of time, bringing the therapeutic benefits of bracing to help prevent the most common cause of chronic knee pain, chondromalacia patella; a condition which develops due to the softening of the cartilage beneath the knee cap (patella). The patella cartilage breaks down and the knee cap rubs against the thigh bone when the knee bends.
