| General
Application: Great for keeping the knee
warm and providing moderate support.
Applications:
Pro-Tec Athletics' Short Sleeve is worn to reduce symptoms of tendinitis,
arthritis, chondromalacia, and other knee ailments.
How
it Works:
Short Sleeve provides compression to the knee region surrounding the
patella. The sleeve provides warmth and promotes circulation, enhancing
the healing process. In addition, this brace has an infrapatellar
buttress which helps support the patella and may improve patellar
tracking.
Design Theory:
Short Sleeve is not quite as hot or cumbersome as most knee sleeves
because it is modified below the knee to reduce sweat. It includes an
infrapatellar buttress, U-shaped tubing within a Cool Max material, to
cradle the patella. The open patella is to keep unwarranted pressure off
of the knee cap. |
