Wear knee pad properly
It is usually useful to wear a knee pad for knee pain. The knee pad can protect the knee joint, stabilize the knee joint, reduce the pressure on the joint, and relieve pain and stimulation. But it is not suitable for long-term use.
Common causes of knee pain are knee joint trauma, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis and other diseases. Knee pads can be worn for protection when pain occurs. It can relieve clinical symptoms to a certain extent, especially for trauma patients. Generally, it can be worn continuously for 2-4 weeks. However, wearing knee pads for too long will easily lead to a decrease in the strength of the muscles around the knee. It will lead to secondary muscle atrophy such as quadriceps atrophy, calf triceps and tibialis anterior muscle atrophy. And it will further reduce the stability of the knee joint, thus making the knee Pain symptoms come back and get worse.
In addition, if you wear knee pad braces for a long time, it will also compress the blood vessels and nerves in the popliteal fossa, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the calf muscles, impaired venous return, nerve ischemia, and clinical symptoms such as calf numbness and calf weakness.
Therefore, knee pads should not be used for a long time. When knee pain occurs, knee pads can be worn to relieve symptoms, and when the symptoms are relieved, the knee pads should be removed as soon as possible to avoid damage to the knee joint and surrounding muscles, blood vessels, nerves and other structures.
