This is custom fitted by simply tightening a Velcro strap. The resultant pressure is ingeniously directed to the Patella Tendon region by the Aircast Air Cell. This comfortable pressure limits the girth (width) of the Patella Tendon, thus reducing the force that is transmitted through the tendon. This un-loading reduces the strain on the tendon which helps to relieve the symptoms of Patella Tendonitis & Osgood Schlatters disease.
