Patellar band can be used to protect the knee, which is a common knee protector in sports. But if you wear it improperly, it will not only fail to protect your knees, but may cause injuries. So how to wear the patellar strap is correct?
1. When wearing the patella strap, firstly, the patella should be in the correct position and the knee joint should be in the straight state. Then, there is no medial displacement or lateral displacement of the patella.
2. Wear patellar band on the knee joint. There is a hole in the middle of the patellar girdle, which is special for patella. Then there are four straps next to it, two on the top and two on the bottom, which are used to fix the patellar tendon.
3. After wearing the patellar band, you need to fix it with this band. The basis of fixation is that you feel a little tight, but it will not affect the knee joint activity.
It is still effective to prevent chondromalacia patellae and subluxation of patella as long as the patellar band is worn correctly or used persistently. Secondly, it can also prevent injuries around the patellar tendon caused by improper posture or excessive strength.
Second, can the patella protective belt be worn for a long time?
Theoretically, the patellar strap can be worn for a long time, but it is not recommended to wear it for a long time.
Patellar strap can solve limited problems, so it may not be worn without injury. Moreover, in the case of wearing patellar tendon for a long time, muscles and ligaments are easy to rely on patellar tendon, and it is easier to get injured without patellar tendon.
3. Can the patellar girdle be used with knee pads?
I can't.
Patellar girdle and kneepad are usually not used together. Wearing patellar straps and knee pads at the same time will make the knee joint very bloated, which will not only limit the activity, but also easily oppress local skin and muscles and even cause collateral damage.
However, there is also a kind of sports protective device with patella straps on the market. Knee protector is to open a hole in front of the patella on the basis of knee protector, so that the patella can be put into the hole, and it usually has two or four springs at the ligaments on both sides of the knee joint, which can protect the knee joint more comprehensively. If you want to use the patellar girdle with the knee pad, you can consider this knee pad.
