The knee is the largest joint in the body, which includes the tibiafemoral, patellafemoral and upper tibiafibular joints. There are two menisci in the area between the condyles of the femur and the tibia, whose main function is to absorb shocks to the knee and increase stability. There are several ligaments in the knee to create stability and prevent excessive movement. The anterior cruciate ligament, the posterior cruciate ligament, and the medial and external lateral ligaments are the main ligaments that provide stability to the knee joint. However, this joint is subject to damage during daily activities, sports, and diseases related to aging such as arthritis. Open patella knee brace is a flexible knee brace that allows natural movements of the knee and bending and free movements of the knee joint and has the ability to compress around the knee, maintain heat and protect the knee to reduce pain and inflammation. This knee brace can also increase the sense of depth around the knee.
