The knee is the largest joint in the body includes the tibiofemoral, patellofemoral and superior tibiofibular joints. There are two menisci of fibrocartilage between the femoral condyles and tibial plateaus. Their main functions are shock absorption and stability enhancement. There are several ligaments to provide stability and prevent excessive motion. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) are the main ligaments for stabilization of the knee joint. However, this joint is exposed position makes it vulnerable to injury during activities and sports and also injury associated with old age, such as arthritis. This adjustable knee Support is a flexible knee support which allows normal flexion and free movement of the knee joint and offers the advantage of controlled compression around the knee, warmth & support to the knee to allay pain and inflammation. It also can enhance propioception around the knee. This knee support is closed at the front for the knee cap (distribute pressure through overall and retain maximum heat).
