What is knee pad
Knee pads are cloth used to protect people’s knees. Knee pads are not only an extremely important part in sports, but also a relatively vulnerable and vulnerable part. Knee pads can reduce the injuries caused by joint torsion, over-extension and bending through compression; The cushion of knee pad can reduce the impact of body contact to avoid injury.
The function of knee pads
Health exercise protection: Due to various postures that are easy to cause various injuries or strains to the knee joint during the exercise, the knee pad fits the knee, stabilizes the knee during the exercise, guides the quadriceps contraction, and improves the extreme efficiency of quadriceps to reduce knee pain. Some knee pads on the market can improve the compression effect, effectively disperse the pressure on the knee, and reduce the possibility of sports injury.
Braking traction and stretching effect: knee joint is the joint of upper and lower leg bones, There is a meniscus in the middle (meniscus, which is two pieces of semilunar cartilage, located at the intersection of the femur and the tibia. Its function is like a cushion, used to disperse weight. In addition, there is articular cartilage, which is like a smooth elastic lining, covering the top of the bone at the joint of the knee, so as to minimize the friction at the relative movement of the bone ends. However, these two types of cartilage can only reduce a certain amount of impact force), and there is patella in front, The patella is stretched by two muscles and suspended in front of the intersection of the leg bones. It is very easy to slide. In normal life, the patella can move normally in a small range at the knee because it is not affected by external forces and does not exercise violently. Because exercise exerts too much pressure on the knee, it is easy to pull the patella away from the original position, thus causing disease at the knee joint. The kneepad can fix the patella in a relatively stable position to ensure that it is not easily injured. The above mentioned is the light braking effect of the knee protection when the knee joint is not injured. After the knee joint is injured, the use of the knee protection with heavy braking can reduce the bending of the knee, maintain a straight line from the thigh to the calf, reduce the bending of the knee joint, and thus protect the knee joint from aggravating the disease.
