Patellar Knee Strap – Adjustable Compression Sleeve for Sport

Common questions

Where should a patella strap sit?

About an inch below the kneecap, over the patellar tendon. Worn on the kneecap itself it does nothing, which is the single most common mistake with these straps.

Should I choose a sleeve or a hinged brace?

A compression sleeve gives warmth, swelling control and proprioceptive feedback. A hinged or spring-stabilised brace resists sideways movement. If your knee feels unstable or gives way, that needs assessment, not just a sleeve.

How do I size a knee sleeve?

Measure the circumference just above the kneecap with the leg straight. A sleeve that rolls down is too large; one that leaves deep marks or makes the lower leg tingle is too small.
