During puberty, some children form a painful lump beneath their knee cap as a result of a growth spurt. This is especially prevalent among those in sports that involve jumping, running and changing direction quickly. When this occurs, it is known as Osgood Schlatters disease. Generally speaking, the unpleasant symptoms of Osgood Schlatters go away once one's bones have stopped growing. In the meantime, an Osgood Schlatters knee brace for kids can help ease pain and swelling associated with this condition. This child-size knee band eases pain from Osgood Schlatter disease by applying pressure to the patella tendon and stabilizing the kneecap. The solid tubular neoprene pad of this youth knee strap means it does so in a comfortable manner. The premium grade soft loop neoprene is durable but soft against the skin. Application of the strap is easy thanks to its simple strap and hook-and-loop closure. This Osgood Schlatter pain relief band is easy to adjust to one's desired level of comfort and compression. The placement of the buckle at the outer part of the leg also ensures it will not rub against the opposite leg. Osgood Schlatters disease is not the only condition for which this pediatric patella strap is well suited. Those dealing with patella-femoral pain syndrome, patella tendonitis may also find this knee band for kids helpful. The kids knee band is available in sizes XS and Small. To determine your size, measure the circumference around your leg directly below the kneecap. The knee band is available in circumferences ranging from 9"-13".
