Adjustable Knee Strap, 461TUFMM

Question
where do i wear the knee strap for Oshgood Slawgers diseasethksbrenda

Answer

What type of knee support might help?

There are a number of different supports and braces on the market that may help with Osgood Schlatters disease.

A simple neoprene support will provide compression and support to the knee in general and retain the bodies natural heat. A warm tendon will work much better than a cold one.

A patella tendon strap wraps around just below the knee, to put direct pressure on the patella tendon to help reduce the strain on the tibial tuberosity.
