Cho Pat Dual Action Patella Support
Do you suffer from Osgood Schlatters Disease / Syndrome?
What is it?
According to Victoria's Better Health Channel, Osgood-Schlatter syndrome is a knee condition that mostly affects teenagers. It is often but not always caused during a growth spurt, where it is thought that the tendon attaching the quadriceps muscle to the knee joint fails to keep up with the lengthening bone and pulls tight, creating a strain on the growing bone (tibial tuberosity). It is also an overuse injury, thus is common with athletes who put regular stress on their knee joint. The disease usually resolves by itself once growth has finished. This may take up to two to three years.
Why is the Cho Pat Dual Strap Support so good for Osgood Schlatters?
The top band sits just above the knee and dampens the shock that occures within the quadraceps, which is transmitted through the knee cap to the tendon below. The bottom strap then further dampens the shock within the tendon underneath your knee, hence the name "Dual Strap".

Product description
Cho-Pat's newly patented Dual Action Knee Strap provides an extra dimension of relief for painful and weakened knees.
The strap applies pressure upon the patellar tendon below the kneecap to stabilize and tighten up the kneecap mechanism, which improves patellar tracking and elevation and reduces patellar subluxation. It adds further strengthening to the kneecap mechanism by applying pressure on the tendon above the kneecap as well. This tends to reduce the forces of the quadriceps on the patella tendon and erosion of the undersurface of the kneecap due to a possible misalignment of the quadriceps (Q angle).
The device's design and construction apply constant dynamic forces to the surrounding areas of the knee reducing the likelihood of overuse syndromes. At the same time, the strap allows for full mobility while providing maximum benefits.
