Abstract

A knee support for relieving pain in arthritic knee joints comprises an elastic support sleeve 10 adapted to engage snugly around a wearer's knee at, above and below the wearer's knee joint and without applying any direct pressure to the patella of that joint. An arcuate pressure pad 20 secured to the sleeve is disposed so as to lie alongside, but not overlap, the lower and outward peripheral parts of the patella. An arc-shaped adjustable strap 22 is secured at its respective end portions externally on the sleeve in such manner as to provide for the patella an adjustable, pain-alleviating force which is directed both upwardly and inwardly towards the wearer's other knee, thereby to alleviate pain in the knee joint. The force is adjustable by adjustment of the tension in the strap. <IMAGE>
