This effect encourages circulation through the joint and therefore helps reduce swelling and effusions and alleviate irritation and pain. It simultaneously helps improve muscular control and the body's own stabilisation of the knee joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pressure applied by the additional belt strap and the pad under it reduces tension on the patellar tendon thus creating relief for the tendon insertions and alleviating pain.\u003cbr\u003eSupports are most beneficial during physical activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDonning\/fitting instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the two belt straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHold the support with the thumb on the inside at the top end of the side stabilisation rods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePull the support over the knee in such a way that the two silicon pads cover the centre of the kneecap without applying any pressure. Make sure when positioning the support that the smaller pad (tendon pad) is located below the kneecap over the patellar tendon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow close the front belt strap with your leg slightly bent.
