The knee itself has little protection, just a thin layer of skin and muscle over the kneecap or patella. If you fall while your knee is bent, there isn’t much cushion to prevent you from snapping the patella or pushing it out of position, often tearing ligaments or muscles in the process. Using knee pads during certain exercises and sports can help reduce the chance of knee injury.

benefit
● Knee pads support joint stability, limit joint movement and prevent injury.The knee joint will not be affected by external forces in general activities, so it will only be carried out in a small area, but activities such as mountaineering will bring greater pressure to the knee, resulting in insufficient movement of the knee patella and separation from the original position. This can lead to disease. However, breathing allows the patella to move within a certain range and avoid injury.

● Comfortable, elderly knee joint degradation, pressure is several times their own body weight, wearing knee pads can reduce knee joint pressure.

● Health care, elderly knee pads have obvious effect on joint diseases such as knee arthritis, arthritis, joint stiffness and sprain, can play an auxiliary role.

● Wearing knee pads can play a good role in insulation, prevent knee cold. Knee is easy to catch cold, if caught cold is easy to lead to some symptoms of knee joint, so, wear knee pads in a cool environment, can play a very good warm effect.

harm
● Knee pads used by osteoarthritis patients are too tight and too thick, which is not conducive to blood circulation around the knee joint and makes it difficult to move the knee joint.

● Ordinary knee pads generally have the function of keeping warm. After wearing, the patella in front of the knee will form a certain sense of pressure, affecting the effect of movement.

● Wearing them for long periods of time tends to cause our muscles to lose strength, leaving us without strong muscles to protect our knees.If worn for a long time, it will affect the effect of muscle exercise, but also cause poor local blood circulation, insufficient blood supply and so on. Therefore, when you feel knee discomfort, please wear knee pads. Take off knee pads when conditions are good.

How do knee pads work

Knee pads improve safety in a number of ways:

They reduce the impact your knees feel when you fall, especially if you fall directly onto your knees. In doing so, they protect the kneecap (patella) from injuries such as fractures;
They increase the worker’s confidence in his or her safety and enable him or her to focus on the job without distraction;
They create more comfortable working conditions, especially for workers who have to spend long hours on their knees. This will include carpeting, gardening, roofing, tiling and other jobs.
Knee pads can not only improve the comfort of workers kneeling on their knees for long periods of time, but also reduce wear and tear on the knee bones. Kneeling for long periods of time can lead to the degeneration of cartilage, which acts as a cushion on the ends of the kneecaps. This degeneration of cartilage increases the risk of knee osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis affecting the knee;
Knee pads not only help reduce patellar wear after prolonged kneeling. They will also reduce the risk that the knee may be punctured by a sharp object
