Lower limb support AM-KDX-02

Knee instability

The knee joint is made of two main joints: tibiofemoral and patellofemoral. They connect tibia, femur and patella. Kneecap is a flat, mobile small bone which is maintained by e.g. patellar ligament. Patellar maltracking causes painful symptoms in front of the knee. What’s the reason of maltracking? First of all, quadriceps muscle imbalance is the main factor. When lateral vastus is tight, it “pulls” the kneecap together sideway and patella is out of alignment. It causes knee joint conditions and patellar chondromalacia. Moreover, subluxation or traumatic dislocation (e.g. sport) may result in limited knee motion and the knee will lock and you will not be able to straighten it. Obviously, you can suffer also from many kneecap conditions such as tendinosis, bursitis or plica bands.

It doesn’t matter which condition you suffer from, your patella requires proper treatment management. In this case, we highly recommend our universal wrap around patellar brace AM-KDX-02 which supports the patellofemoral joint.

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.
