The role of knee pads

Mainly talk about the braking effect of knee pads. The knee joint is where the upper and lower leg bones meet. There is a meniscus in the middle and a patella on the front. The patella is stretched by two muscles. It floats before the junction of the leg bones. 

It is very easy to slide. In normal life, it is not subject to external force. It is affected, and there is no strenuous exercise, so the patella can move normally in a small range in the knee area. Because mountaineering exercise puts too much pressure on the knee, coupled with the strenuous exercise in mountaineering, it is easy to cause the patella to be retracted away from the original position, which can lead to diseases of the knee joint. Wearing a knee pad can fix the patella in a relatively stable position to ensure that it is not easily injured. 

The above mentioned is the mild braking effect of the knee pad when the knee joint is not injured. After the knee joint is injured, the knee pad with heavy braking can reduce the bending of the knee, maintain a straight line from the thigh to the calf, and reduce the knee joint. Bend to protect the knee joint from aggravating the condition.
