What effect does the knee pad have on the knee

Function: knee pads have three functions: braking, heat preservation and health care. In basketball, knee pads mainly play a braking role.

The braking effect of knee pads. The knee joint is the place where the upper and lower leg bones meet. There is a meniscus in the middle and a patella in front. The patella is stretched by two muscles and suspended at the intersection of the leg bones. It is very easy to slide. In normal life, the patella can move normally in a small range at the knee because it is not affected by external forces and does not exercise violently.

Because mountaineering exerts too much pressure on the knee, coupled with the vigorous exercise in mountaineering, it is easy to pull the patella away from the original part, resulting in the disease of the knee joint. Wearing knee pads can fix the patella in a relatively stable position to ensure that it is not easily injured.

The above is the mild braking effect of the knee pad when the knee joint is not injured. After the knee joint is injured, the knee pad with heavy braking can reduce the bending of the knee, maintain a straight line from the thigh to the lower leg, and reduce the bending of the knee joint, so as to protect the knee joint from aggravating the disease.
