2. Description of the Related Art Knee osteoarthritis often occurs in elderly patients, and the knee joint is fragile and deforms and weakens mainly, causing the knee joint to sway outwards and simultaneously cause pain. It is an accompanying disease.

[0003] A supporter is generally used for protecting and fixing a knee joint having such a disease.
However, since the conventional supporters were merely cylindrical supporters made of elastic material, the pain that is a symptom of osteoarthritis of the knee could hardly be reduced or alleviated.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The inventor of the present invention has conducted various studies to develop a knee joint supporter capable of reducing and alleviating the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. The present inventors have found that pressing the distal portion of a certain vastus medial muscle increases the muscle output around the knee joint, thereby obtaining extremely excellent results.

That is, the present invention is a supporter for knee osteoarthritis, characterized in that the supporter has a pad for compressing the vastus medial muscle.

[0006] The specific form of the supporter for mounting the compression pad and the specific mounting site of the pad are as follows.
As long as it can press the distal portion of the vastus medialis, the inner surface of the conventional cylindrical supporter can be used regardless of whether it is the same or the like. Is fixed to the outside of the knee joint inside corresponding portion of the tubular main body, and one end of the fixed band is fixed to the outer surface of the cylindrical joint inside corresponding portion, and the other end is outside the knee joint front corresponding portion of the tubular main body. It is desirable to be able to detachably attach to the side surface and to attach the inner wide muscle distal portion compression pad to the inner surface of the fixing band, because an easier and more effective compression action can be obtained.

[0007] Further, as a form of the compression pad, a substantially right-angled triangular plate-like body having an inwardly curved hypotenuse is more excellent because the cross compression with the running direction of the muscles of the wide inner muscle becomes easy and accurate. This is advantageous in obtaining increased muscle output.
