HOW DOES INJURY HAPPEN?

The knee joint can be compared to a spring as it cushions and absorbs reactive force during motion. Shocks, falls and collisions during excessive training or exercise can increase the potential for injuring the knee joint.

The knee is a compound joint formed by the femoral and tibia bones and the patella that can completely extend and bend to an angle of 135 degrees. The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the body, when force is applied on the patella incorrectly or without coordination, in contact sports or excessive training, the load on the joint increases, causing injuries like meniscus abrasion or ligament strains. Quite a few athletes have experienced the triple symptoms of anterior cruciate rupture, meniscus rupture and medial ligament rupture during their sports careers.

HOW DOES LP PROTECT YOU?

The knee is a vital factor in the career of an athlete because the knee's complex structure allows us to do more nimble and coordinated movements. The LP Sports Medicine Team stresses the maintenance of the shock-absorbing capability of joints. During dynamic knee performance, straps and medial lateral hinges or stays are used to strengthen the spring-like characteristics at a knee protector. LP knee support with patella opening and silicone pad design help enhance stability and relieve pressure on injured knee.
