Open Patella Cap Reducing Patellofemoral Pain in Patients

Open patella knee braces and supports are really simple to use, cheap and provide some support and warmth to the knee. Knee injuries are a common hazard in almost every sport. Like other major joints, knees combine several bones, muscles and ligaments in a confined space. However, knees endure more strain than many other joints because they support the body's entire weight. They're also required to support frequent changes of direction, sudden impacts and many other powerful, transient stresses. Knee braces can be used both to prevent knee injuries and to support injured knees as they heal. Open patella braces, as the name suggests, leave the patella or kneecap uncovered. Some models are completely open in front, while others have a small reinforced opening just large enough for the patella. Advocates of open patella braces consider them more comfortable for extended wear than closed patella braces, which take the form of a continuous tube of supportive material.

Patellofemoral pain is a common cause of pain around the front of the knee. It usually gets better with simple treatments such as physiotherapy and exercises. Patellofemoral pain is the medical term used when pain occurs at the front of the knee, around the kneecap (patella), without signs of any damage or other problems in the knee joint. It is also called patellofemoral pain syndrome, patellofemoral syndrome or anterior knee pain. Patellofemoral pain is the medical term used when pain occurs at the front of the knee, around the kneecap (patella), without signs of any damage or other problems in the knee joint.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Explained:Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is a common cause of pain around the knee cap, that is sometimes referred to as?Anterior Knee Pain'. When the knee bends or straightens, the knee cap glides in a special groove on the thigh bone called the?Patellofemoral groove', controlled by the quadriceps (thigh) muscles. However, for several reasons it may stray from this path (usually towards the outside of the knee). This is called Patellofemoral Maltracking and produces abnormal stresses on the under-surface of the patella that can cause knee cap pain. Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) also known as runners knee, chondromalacia patellae, anterior knee pain and patellofemoral joint syndrome is a generic term used to describe pain at the front of the knee and around the knee cap.

The knee joint is made up of three bones:

• The Femur (thigh bone),
• Tibia (shin bone)
• And Patella (kneecap).
