How do Protect our Knee During Sports

As we know our knee is important. Our knee is one of the most complex and large joint in our body. Most of our daily movements are related with knee. Our knee is most complex and one of the largest joints in the body. Three bones known as tibia (shin bone), femur (thigh bone) and kneecap (patella) form our knee joint. Leg muscles and knee bones connected each other known as tendons that move our knee joint. In order to provide stability to our knee, ligament is an important joins the knee bones. Here are some ways how to take care your knee.
Using Appropriate Shoes and Brace Shoes
Wear shoes that feel comfortable and support well. Shoe store employees will explain about ankle fractures, impact patterns on shoes, and plantar shapes (footprints on your shoe soles) but recent research indicates that people should wear the most comfortable shoes on their feet to prevent injury. Humans have a good intuition to choose the best shoes according to their style and activity level.
However, the above method has one exception: if you have flat feet, you need a special wedge and shoe sole pads.
Only wear high heels for a special occasion. Do not wear high heels too often because it will cause chronic knee pain.
Replace your shoes regularly.
It’s important to replace shoes that have been too compressed soles, especially if you walk or run a lot. If you feel pain in the soles of your feet, shins, or knee pain, it means the shoe needs replacing. However, better shoes are replaced before the pain appears.
• Calculate your road or running distance each day. Change shoes when you’ve traveled 643-965 km.
• The distance the shoe threshold depends on your weight and your running style. Heavy runners and runners who have longer strides need to change their shoes faster.
• If the base of your shoe is brushed and feels smooth, replace it immediately.
Wear knee support tools to reduce the risk of injury during exercise or hazardous activity.
The backing device provides additional support to the knee ligament muscles. These accessories need to be worn especially if you play sports with hard impact (hockey, rugby). Knee props have been shown to reduce the risk of knee injury. Full contact sports players (basketball, soccer) and sports that make a lot of changes in the direction of movement (tennis) as well as high-risk activities for the knee (ski) will also be helped by the knee support tool. Talk to your GP, exercise doctor or bone doctor to choose the appropriate support tool for you.
• Prophylactic is suitable for sports contact players athletes. This support tool is designed to protect the ligament muscles and is mounted on top and bottom of the knee with one or two hinged metal bars connecting the sides of your support tool.
• Functional is suitable for sports contact players athletes. This support tool protects the knee ligament muscles in the same way as a prophylactic proponent, with a metal “shell” that hinges on both sides of your knee.
• Patellofemoral is suitable for people suffering knee or athlete pain who want to improve knee stability. The backing device is made of an elastic (generally neoprene) material, designed to hold the kneecap in the correct position and reduce chronic knee pain. This support tool can stabilize the knee, but it does not protect the ligaments properly.
