Abstract
A knee brace for use by athletes or others requiring protection and support of the knee. The knee brace protects against abnormal motions of the knee, and provides direct and indirect patella stabilization. A base comprised of a tubular sleeve of elastic material is configured to closely fit around the knee joint and adjacent upper and lower leg portions. One or more generally upright lateral pockets containing semi-rigid stays are provided on the sides of the base for lateral support. Direct patella support is provided by a reinforced circular hole in the base and two straps that cross the front of the leg above the knee. Indirect patella support is provided by a resilient member in a pocket. Different resilient members and a lower support strap located across the resilient member just below the patella may be used to adjust the amount of indirect patella support provided by the resilient member.
