Knee bands focus specifically on unloading the patellar tendon rather than stabilizing the entire joint. This makes them effective for tendon-related pain while maintaining natural movement.
Ideal for Sports and Training
Patella straps are commonly used in basketball, volleyball, running, and other activities that involve repetitive jumping or impact. They provide support without restricting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a knee band or patella strap used for?
A knee band or patella strap is used to apply targeted pressure to the patellar tendon just below the kneecap. It helps reduce strain and relieve pain associated with jumper’s knee and tendon overuse injuries.
Do patella straps help with jumper’s knee?
Yes. Patella straps can reduce stress on the patellar tendon by distributing load away from the irritated area, which may decrease pain during jumping, running, and squatting.
What is the difference between a knee strap and a knee brace?
A knee strap provides focused tendon support below the kneecap. A knee brace typically offers broader joint stabilization and may include hinges, buttresses, or compression sleeves.
Can I wear a patella strap while playing sports?
Many athletes wear patella straps during basketball, volleyball, soccer, and running. They are designed to be lightweight and allow full knee movement.
Are knee bands tax free in Canada with a prescription?
Some structured knee orthoses may qualify as zero-rated medical devices under CRA Schedule VI when supplied with a valid prescription. Eligibility depends on the product classification and medical necessity.
How tight should a patella strap be?
It should feel snug and supportive without causing numbness, tingling, or circulation restriction. Proper placement just below the kneecap is important for effectiveness.
