Taping Vs Patella Braces

Taping has been used as a treatment for patellofemoral pain for many years. How do patella knee braces fit into the treatment of this condition?

As a general rule, if taping works, a patella brace will work.

They are often used by those who previously taped but have now stopped due to:

  • The ongoing cost of taping
  • Skin irritation
  • Those who have difficulty applying tape themselves
  • Those looking for a quicker solution to taping.

If patella support is required in the medium to long term, a patella brace is usually a good option.
