FAQ
The front center of the strap – where there’s typically a puffy pad or cushion – should sit directly under your kneecap where the patellar tendon attaches to the patella. Tighten the adjustable strap until you feel a bit of pressure on the tendon.
Position the band below the bottom of the kneecap. And above where the tendon attaches into the bone. Place this around the patients patellar region.
Yes, a patella band, a thin pressure strip worn under the knee, can help alleviate the pain.
The conditions that the bands are most commonly used for are patellar tendonitis, runner’s knee, chondromalacia, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and IT Band friction syndrome.
The best treatment for patellofemoral syndrome is to avoid activities that compress the patella against the femur with force. This means avoiding going up and down stairs and hills, deep knee bends, kneeling, step-aerobics and high impact aerobics. Do not wear high heeled shoes.
