The four strong elastic straps on this LP Knee Stabiliser provide extra compression to the patella tendon. This helps to relieve pain and inflammation of the tibial tubercle associated with Osgood Schlatter disease, and it also helps to relieve pain from tendonitis and arthritis.The open patella design relieves pressure on the patella, and an additional circle pad provides padded protection and stabilisation to prevent patella displacements. The medial and lateral spiral stays on each side of the knee allow limited flexion with rotational stability, while two adjustable hook and loop straps ensure a comfortable fit and stabilisation during activities.Neoprene is the ultimate material for compression and heat retention, and this support retains body heat to warm the knee joint and increase blood circulation.
