1, patella coated type

1) Tubular kneepad: This type of kneepad can completely cover the knee joint and play a certain role in fixing and supporting the whole knee joint. At the same time, it can control the slight swelling of the knee and keep the knee joint warm for arthritis patients.

Applicable people: suitable for people with slight knee joint problems, people who are difficult to distinguish the position of knee joint pain, or people who have the habit of jogging and brisk walking.

2) For meniscus injury, people who like to walk can choose supporting knee pads, which can share part of the load on the meniscus, thus protecting the meniscus.

3) For those who have ligament injury and need to participate in sports, you can choose to tighten and support knee pads. The tightness of the knee pads can limit the range of motion of the knee joint, and the lateral support rod can effectively relieve the pressure on the ligament and prevent re-injury.

2. Patella decompression

This kind of kneepad is designed with an opening at the position of patella, and the opening is particularly thickened and strengthened. The design of the opening reduces the pressure of the kneepad on the patella to a certain extent, and at the same time, it can better fix the patella and avoid the friction pain caused by the abnormal movement of the patella.

Applicable people: suitable for people with abnormal patellar movement, pain in the back of patella, difficulty in going up and down stairs and squatting down, and frequent running. This type of kneepad can be worn in daily life, because it will not compress the patella and limit the bending activity of the knee joint.

3. Belt type

Also known as patellar compression band or patellar band, it is round and fixed on the patellar tendon below the patella. Knee pads with straps can restrain the patellar tendon to a certain extent, and can reduce the excessive stretching of the patellar tendon during exercise, thus alleviating the pain and enabling the patellar tendon to rest moderately, but this knee pad has no protective effect on other parts of the knee joint. This kind of knee pad is not suitable for people with ligament and meniscus injuries.

Applicable people: suitable for patients with patellar tendinitis and pain below the knee, and also suitable for people who often run and jump, like ball games or often ride bicycles.

There are many kinds of kneepads, and only by choosing the right kneepads can you protect your knees. Of course, in addition to the above, the choice of knee pads should also consider the material and size. In addition, in the choice of knee pads, we should combine our own reality and don't pursue functionality too much, because the more functional knee pads, the better the protection and support effect, and the greater the impact on the exercise effect, which will greatly reduce the muscle exercise effect if used for a long time.

Second, from the choice of knee pads style,

1, ordinary kneepads: cylindrical, directly over the knee, with multiple sizes to choose from. Elastic materials can exert pressure on the whole knee, but the pertinence is weak, and some have fluff to keep warm, which is mainly used for daily health care. This kind of kneepad is easy to carry and cheap.

The elastic fabric fits the knee better, without the disadvantage of poor positioning of other tubular kneepads for a long time. The thick pad in front protects the knees better and avoids accidental injuries. The design of the rear opening is conducive to the flexible bending of the knee and easy to sweat.

2. Opening knee pads: mainly to relieve the pressure of patella. For people with knee joint or patella or patella cartilage injury, it can relieve the pressure under the patella or in the joint. If there is a fixing washer next to the opening, it is suitable for people with lateral patella displacement.

Some also designed support rods, which can reduce the pressure in the joint cavity and cushion the vibration. There is no need to use a support pole in ordinary daily activities. If you climb a mountain, you can wear it with or without injury. After all, the pressure on the knee is too great. If you ride a bike, it is not recommended to wear it regardless of injury, because the knee is repeatedly bent and the support is a burden.

Third, choose from the classification of knee pads.

Kneepads can be divided into open kneepads and closed kneepads according to their uses. ?

1, open knee pads, also known as open knee pads, have the advantage of fitting the joints to the greatest extent within the specified size range.

The disadvantage is that the adhesive tape will gradually weaken after a period of use, the adhesive tape is not so sticky, or there are too many winding tapes, which is more troublesome. There are many average sizes of open knee pads, but this average size also has a certain range. For example, the range of the average size is 30-50cm, so if the circumference of the knee joint is 55cm, this knee pad is not suitable.

2. Closed knee pads are also called wearable knee pads. The disadvantage is that the fit is not easy to grasp, and it is very likely that the code number will become larger after a period of use. In addition, when choosing the size of closed knee pads, you need to choose according to your own knee circumference. Don't buy anything too loose and tight, just fit! For example, the knee pads in size L are 40-45CM, and the knee circumference can be selected within this range.

Extended data

You can't ignore both sides of the kneepad;

Knee pads undertake the task of some muscles around the knee, assisting muscles to support and maintain the stability of the knee, thus protecting the knee. Because of this, long-term use of knee pads will lead to insufficient exercise of muscles and more and more weakness. Once the knee pads are not worn, it will be more likely to cause knee injuries.

Therefore, for people with healthy knees, short-distance jogging, walking, cycling and other general sports do not need to wear knee pads. For people with knee injuries, you can wear knee pads appropriately, but at the same time, you should pay attention to the exercise of muscles around your knees.

People's network. Knee pads cannot be worn for a long time.
