The knee is one of the most commonly injured joints of the body. Often these injuries occur as result from activities at work - either repetitive small movements or from an acute traumatic overload to the knee. When a worker has a knee injury or pain, a knee support can be an invaluable tool in improving stability by reducing or eliminating unwanted twisting or sliding of the knee. Additionally, it provides more even weight distribution over the area which alleviates pressure on the joint helping to ease pain and prevent further injury.
Neoprene is one of the most popular knee brace materials. It provides compression while still allowing for an optimal range of mobility. It is also one of the best materials for insulating and retaining heat. This heat creates greater blood flow to the area which promotes healing. Choosing an open patella brace gives excellent support to the kneecap without putting pressure directly on the knee. So when looking to ease pain, prevent further injury, or heal an existing injury, a neoprene open-patella support is the ideal product.
