First, why don\u2019t these knee straps work?\u00a0 These knee straps are designed to put pressure on the patellar tendon and support the kneecap, supposedly to improve the way your kneecap tracks.\u00a0 Doctors often recommend using a knee band strap if you have Osgood Schlatters, Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper&#8217;s Knee), Chondromalacia Patella or Runners Knee.\u00a0 An external strap simply cannot change the way your knee tracks. WHY DOESN\u2019 T IT WORK? Putting pressure on a tendon doesn\u2019t change the way your knee tracks.\u00a0 Your knee tracks the way it does because of the tug-of-war going on between the muscles around the knee.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a simple example.\u00a0 If your inner and outer thigh muscles are out of balance, the knee will get pulled into a knock-knee position or outwards to a bow legged position.\u00a0 Once the knee is pulled out of alignment, the kneecap will have a crooked track.\u00a0 How exactly is putting a pressure band on that crooked knee going to help?\u00a0 It can\u2019t.\u00a0 No longer does your knee move in a stable hinging motion, and no longer will your kneecap have a straight groove to track in.\u00a0 The knee strap can\u2019t fix the muscles, so it can\u2019t fix the problem.
