Frequently Asked Questions

What knee brace keeps the kneecap in place?

A patella stabilizer with a J or horseshoe buttress. The pad presses on the side of the kneecap that drifts, helping it track more centrally.

Suggested: Breg Lateral Stabilizer Neoprene Knee Support Brace

Does a patella stabilizer help patellofemoral pain?

For many people, yes, especially during stairs, squats and runs. It works best alongside thigh and hip strengthening.

How should a patellar tracking brace fit?

Snug, with the opening centered on the kneecap and the buttress on the side that drifts. You should be able to slide a finger under each strap.
