With normal posture and body weight, it is the kneecap that hinges neatly up and down in relation to the leg. The kneecap moves in a trench. The kneecap fits and hinges neatly between the trench. The forces are evenly distributed. When someone suffers from patellofemoral pain syndrome, it is the position of the kneecap that is abnormal. As a result, the kneecap no longer slides neatly between the trench. He hits the sides of the trench. This will cause irritation and result in a painful knee; patellafemoral complaints.
The kneecap moves nicely between the trench. However, this is not the case with a patellofemoral syndrome. The pain is caused because the kneecap is not neatly in the trench. This may be due to a deviation from the knees. The knees are positioned too far in or out (varus or valgus of the knee). Also, the position of the kneecap may not be right, this may be because the muscles around the kneecap on one side are stronger compared to the other side. This will skew the kneecap. And does not fit neatly in the channel.

View and orderA patellofemoral pain syndrome is easy to treat. The main thing is to find out where the pain comes from. This can, for example, go to a physiotherapist. It is important to change the position of the kneecap so that it can pivot again neatly between the trench.
A patella brace is nothing more or less than an (elastic) knee strap with a viscoelastic pad. This pad puts pressure on the patellar tendon under the patella (kneecap). This pressure makes the patella (kneecap) better able to trace in the knee groove (trochlea). The knee brace is easy to wear under clothing and has a very small profile. This kneecap brace can be worn during sports, but if the complaints require this, the knee brace is also good to wear in everyday life. Stabilization of the kneecap is the most important. Below are braces that meet these requirements:
