1. What is a patella belt
A patella belt refers to a kind of fabric and rubber hose or EVA special-shaped strip used to protect people’s knee joints Knee braces for preventing patella displacement and meniscus injury are widely used in sports, such as running, mountaineering, ball games, etc., to prevent sports-related injuries.
2. What is the function of the patellar band
The knee is not only an extremely important part in sports, but also a relatively fragile and easily injured part , when injured, it is very painful and difficult to recover, so people will use the patella to protect the fragile knee joint. The role of the patella is mainly in three points:
1. Fix the patella
Due to the special position of the patella, there are no other bones around it to be connected and fixed, so the patella is prone to displacement during high-intensity exercise, and the patella band mainly acts to stabilize the patella, thereby avoiding shift.
2. Mitigation Meniscus loss
The meniscus is one of the indispensable components in the joint composition, which mainly plays the role of increasing joint stability and buffering shocks. It is precisely because of the functional characteristics of the meniscus that it is easy to cause wear and tear during exercise. The patella belt plays a linking role. By selecting the patella belt rubber hose with appropriate hardness and thickness, it can play a role in reducing wear and tear.
3. Health and Nursing Functions
The patella belt can prevent knee injuries caused by strenuous activities such as running and climbing, especially fast running or Downhill, the pressure and wear on the knee joint should not be underestimated. At this time, wearing the patella belt can better protect the knee, and can effectively avoid pain, which has a good health care effect.
Third, there is no side effect of wearing the patella strap incorrectly
Wearing the patella strap can protect the knee and meniscus, but if it is worn incorrectly, it may cause damage to the body It brings some side effects. When used improperly, the main side effects of the patella band are:
1. Weak muscle strength
The main function of the patella band It provides support for abnormally positioned bones, which can reduce the stress on bones and muscles. Using it for a long time may lead to insufficient muscle strength, and physical reactions such as lower limb weakness and numbness in the legs and feet may occur, which is not conducive to normal work or walking.
2. Affects blood circulation
The blood vessels in the legs have the function of transporting blood and oxygen. The blood vessels under the skin are compressed, resulting in poor blood flow. Due to insufficient blood supply, it may cause cold legs and feet, weakened consciousness and other reactions, and is insensitive to cold and heat.
3. Increased pain
Long-term improper use of the patellar band may cause aseptic inflammation, tissue and nerve damage, and lead to persistent Sexual pain, usually manifested as dull pain or tingling, affects normal life and work.
