View full detailsThe patella plays a crucial role in knee function, sliding within the trochlear groove as you bend or straighten your leg. When this tracking is off—whether due to overuse, muscle imbalance, or misalignment—you may experience runner’s knee, patellar tendonitis, or generalized knee pain. At Brace Direct, we offer patellar tracking knee braces designed to guide your kneecap into proper alignment, easing pain and reducing the risk of further injury.
Poor kneecap alignment can stem from several factors, including:
Symptoms often include aching under or around the kneecap, especially during stair use, squatting, or prolonged sitting with bent knees.
A knee brace that supports the patella can make everyday activities less painful by:
Whether you’re coping with runner’s knee, jumper’s knee, or general patellofemoral discomfort, the right brace can significantly enhance both comfort and function.
These knee braces provide targeted patellar support, helping reposition the kneecap and reduce pain:
Features a cutout around the kneecap to reduce direct pressure while supporting alignment—ideal for mild tracking issues or patellar tendonitis.

Shop Patellar Tracking BracesMuscle imbalances around the hip and thigh, structural variations (like flat feet or knock-knees), and past injuries can all disrupt how the patella glides in its groove. Repetitive stress and poor form in sports—particularly running or jumping—may also trigger patellar tracking issues.
Recovery varies. Mild cases may respond within a few weeks of rest, bracing, and targeted exercises, while long-standing misalignments might need months of muscle conditioning, therapy, and supportive braces. Following a consistent rehab plan is vital for lasting improvement.
Yes. By maintaining proper kneecap alignment and relieving pressure on the patellar tendon, these braces often reduce anterior knee pain. Combined with low-impact exercises and flexibility work, braces support a quicker return to pain-free activity.
Look for a hinged or dedicated patellofemoral support featuring adjustable buttresses or straps to manage kneecap alignment. A product like the Breg 20.50 Patellofemoral Brace lets you fine-tune patellar stabilization, easing discomfort during movement.

Most patellar tracking issues respond well to non-surgical strategies, like bracing, muscle strengthening, and activity modifications. Surgery may be considered if conservative measures fail or if there’s a significant structural defect. Consulting an orthopedic specialist and following a comprehensive rehab plan typically leads to improvement without invasive intervention.
