Patella Strap

[Lucky]

Has anyone with soar knees ever used the patella strap during a work out and does it work? I was just wondering due to the fact they cost 30.00 dollars. That's a little much to be experimenting for something that won't work.

My knees are almost always sore, but that's because I'm a crazy deadliftin' maniac

But, I wore a elbow brace for a while because of elbow pains and aches, and while it did help, all it really seemed to do was limit the range of motion of my arm, and put more stress on my shoulder.

Not sure exactly what you're talking about, though.

Here is the thread of what I was talking about:

I have patella tendonitis, and i found that straps aren't the best solution. They keep falling off and getting loose. The best thing i found is to just tape it up.

Are you saying that you wrap tape just below your knee to get the same results as you would get from a patella strap?
