Choose kneepad, first of all to determine the purpose of kneepad, and according to their own situation to choose, kneepad function has many kinds, the role is not the same. Choose the right kneepad for yourself.
At present, knee pads are mainly for the following three needs:
1. Sports protection: the knee joint itself is not damaged, but it may be damaged in severe exercise, so it is necessary to wear knee protection to prevent injury.
Injury prevention and treatment: the soft tissue of knee joint, such as ligament, needs to wear kneepad to avoid the aggravation of injury and promote the recovery of injury.
3. Force line correction: the knee joint has joint deformation due to rheumatism and other diseases. The abnormal force line of the lower limbs caused by joint deformation will aggravate the damage to the knee joint. At this time, it is necessary to wear knee protection to correct the force line of the lower limbs.
For these three needs, the following types of kneepads are available:
Patella covered tube kneepad: take Proso pronee as an example. 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 the patients with arthritis.
Applicable crowd: it is suitable for people with slight knee joint problems and difficulty in distinguishing the position of knee joint pain, or people with jogging and fast walking habits.
Note: it is not suitable for daily life, because the patella is completely covered. When the knee joint is bent more than 45 degrees, the kneepad will limit the relative position of the patella and the femur, which will increase the probability of patella degeneration and increase the knee joint pain for a long time. Therefore, it is not suitable for people who often need to go up and down stairs or squat. For those who have ligament injury and need to take part in sports, they can choose to fasten and support knee protection. The tightening of the knee protector can limit the range of motion of the knee joint.
The patella pressure release type knee protector is designed with a hole in the patella, and the hole is specially thickened and strengthened. To a certain extent, the design of opening reduces the pressure of Kneepad on the patella, and can better fix the patella to avoid friction pain caused by abnormal movement of patella.
Aosuo J-type kneepad is suitable for people with abnormal patellar movement, pain behind the patella, difficulty in climbing and descending stairs and squatting, and regular 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. The strap type, also known as patellar compression band or patellar band, is circular and fixed on the patellar tendon at the lower part of the patella. The band type kneepad can reduce the excessive involvement of the patellar tendon during exercise, so as to reduce the pain and get a proper rest of the patellar tendon, but this kind of kneepad has no protective effect on other parts of the knee joint. For people with ligament and meniscus injuries, such knee pads are not suitable.
Applicable crowd: it is suitable for patients with patellar tendinitis and pain under the knee, as well as those who often run, jump, like ball games or often ride. There are many kinds of kneepad. Only choosing the right kneepad can protect the knee. Of course, in addition to the above types, the selection of kneepad should also consider the material and size. In addition, in the choice of kneepad, we should combine our own reality, not excessive pursuit of functionality, because the stronger the function of kneepad, the better the protection and support effect, the greater the range of influence on the exercise effect, and the longer it is used, it will greatly reduce the effect of muscle exercise.
