Lower limb brace OKD-19

Stressed patellar tendon

Some sports requires a lot of jumping (volleyball, basketball, long jump). That’s why, patellar tendon injury is called Jumper’s Knee. This is tendonitis, meaning inflammation of a patellar tendon. The patients suffer from pain in the front area of the knee. The pain increases and worsens during jumping or bouncing. Stressed patellar tendon is caused also by: shortened quadriceps muscle and hamstring muscles and poor biomechanical control of patellofemoral joint.
Recovery time can be recorded even in 12 months!
Because of that, immediate and multi-faceted treatment has to be introduced. Apart of strengthening exercises, you should use our Jumper’s Knee strap OKD-19, providing excellent support and relief for stressed tendon.

MATERIALS

UniPren™

UniPren™ is a universal 3-layer material consisting of an external elastic polyamide cover knit with a self-adhesive function, an internal neoprene foam core and an elastic jersey cover knit. This material is characterized by softness and very high flexibility. A very important advantage of this material is the fact that it is not a knitted product, it does not have thick fibers, so that the weaves of the material do not imprint on the patient's skin and do not cause abrasionsin places of high compression. Products made of UniPren™ are the strongest and most effective stabilizing orthoses available on the market. Self-adhesive function, the raw material makes it much easier to use.

PADDINGS

2D supports

2D supports are, apart from 3D supports, the second type of supports used in the production of orthoses. They are made of various types of relieving foams and have very different shapes. The special feature of these pelottes is that, unlike the 3D pelottes, they are not independent parts of the orthosis, but only their parts, that must be sewn between the materials from which the orthosis is made to work properly. These pads have an anatomical shape and are made of comfortable foam with proper hardness and elasticity, which guarantees the proper therapeutic effect.
