BioSkin QLok Patella Support
An injury to your knee can be massively debilitating, but recovery isn't all about weeks of lying still, trying hard not to aggravate the issue. Movement and gentle exercise are key to healthy rehabilitation, preventing the joint from becoming stiff or weakened and allowing blood flow to speed up healing times. The BioSkin QLok Patella Support is designed to reduce patellofemoral pain by correctly repositioning the patella (knee cap) and increasing the surface contact area within the joint.
Who Can Make Gains with the BioSkin QLok Patella Support?
The QLok Patella Support is designed to diminish the effects and aid in the rehabilitation of patellofemoral pain. The support can be used to aid with a range of conditions, including:
- Anterior knee pain
- Chondromalacia patella
- Inflammation
- Meniscal cartilage tears / repairs
- Mild sprains and instabilities
- Patella maltracking
How Does the QLok Patella Support Work?
The superior compression and unique strapping system of the QLok push the patella back into the correct position in the trochlear notch. A properly positioned patella spreads the force in the knee joint over a large surface and decreases pain and wear on the joint.
