Knee Sleeve and Sleeves
Knee Sleeve and Sleeves
The widely used terms knee sleeve and knee sleeves often refer to medical knee supports which are effectively tubular structures made from either elasticated cotton based fabrics or neoprene fabrics.
A knee sleeve support should be applied to the injuried knee area by sliding the foot through the tube and pulling the sleeves up the leg into place
Using a Knee Sleeve
Quality knee sleeves can be used to provide compression support for an injured knee, for example if an individual is suffering from knee ligament or tendon damage, or from an arthritic knee.
