Product Description

Kids Knee Brace for Osgood Schlatter Disease

One of the many unpleasant and uncomfortable things children can experience during puberty is the formation of a painful bony bump below their kneecap due to a growth spurt. This is especially prevalent among athletic boys and girls that participate in activities or youth sports that involve running, jumping, and bending, such as track, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and ballet.

What is Osgood Schlatter Disease?

During a growth spurt, a child's thigh muscles (quadriceps) pull on the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the growth plate at the top part of the shinbone (tibia). This repeated tension and irritation can cause the tendon to pull away from the shinbone, resulting in pain, swelling, inflammation, and occasionally the formation of a bony lump under the patella. When this occurs, it is known as Osgood Schlatter disease.

Osgood schlatter disease occurs when muscles are growing too fast and the patellar tendon stretches the growth plate below the kneecap causing a bump

Most Common Osgood Schlatter Disease Symptoms:

  • Knee or leg pain
  • Swelling, tenderness, or increased warmth below the knee
  • Pain that worsens with exercise or high-impact activities, like running
  • Limping after physical activity

The severity of these symptoms often varies from child to child. Some kids experience only mild pain during certain activities that eases with rest. Others experience constant, severe, and debilitating pain that makes it difficult to do any physical activity. The condition usually occurs in just one knee, but it can affect both knees.

How Long Does Osgood Schlatters Last?

Often referred to as the growing pains of the knees, pain associated with Osgood Schlatter disease typically goes away once the adolescent stops growing. Without treatment, some kids are left with a permanent bump below their kneecap. In rare circumstances, adults may continue to experience painful Osgood Schlatter symptoms caused by residual bone fragments around the patellar tendon.

Why Use This Patella Tendon Knee Strap for Osgood Schlatter Treatment?

Worn around the leg just below the kneecap, this patellar band for Osgood Schlatter can help stabilize the knee and "tack down" a child’s patellar tendon during activities, distributing force away from the shinbone.

In addition to Osgood Schlatter disease, this extra-small compression strap can also be used to reduce pain and inflammation caused by a variety of conditions and injuries affecting the patella, including:

To cure and treat Osgood Schlatter disease, we always recommend consulting with a medical professional. A doctor will likely advise a child to ice their knee at home and stretch their muscles before and after participating in sports, in addition to wearing this patella strap. For specific Osgood Schlatter exercises and stretches, check out the video below.

5 Features and Benefits of This Patella Strap

  1. Reusable Knee Ring, Unlike Osgood Schlatters Taping

    During the years of rapid growth, KT (Kinesio) tape can help relieve the symptoms of Osgood Schlatter disease. Unfortunately, this medical tape is hard to keep clean and can start peeling off within a couple of hours. Our patellar resistance band provides secure and reusable knee pain relief and protection without adhesive, eliminating the need for taping. Combine icing after activity and small bouts of rest to further relieve a child’s symptoms.

  2. Low-Profile, Lightweight, and Nonrestrictive Fit

    This 2-inch tall patella tendon stabilizer is extremely low-profile and nonrestrictive, allowing for a full range of motion, so little kids and teenagers are more likely to actually wear it! Unlike applying a medical bandage or tape, a child can easily adjust the fit themselves by simply tightening or loosening this pediatric knee band.

  3. Tubular Knee Pad

    The rubberized, tubular padding applies uniform compression over a child’s patellar tendon, relieving stress on the tendon and its attachment at the growth plate (tibial tuberosity) on the tibia (shinbone). This helps spread pressure across a larger area to alleviate pain while hiking, walking, running, jumping, or playing youth sports.

  4. Non-Slip Interior and Medical-Grade Fasteners

    A textured, non-slip interior and medical-grade fasteners hold the wrap-around band securely in place to prevent slipping or rolling during school, athletic activities, and more.

  5. Provides Therapeutic Warmth

    The neoprene material applies soothing heat to increase circulation and heal sore or aching muscles. Plus, the flexible fabric and lightweight fit make it easy for a child to move about and engage activities as normal while wearing this comfortable knee support

      Exactly what we needed

      My daughter was having knee pain in gymnastics from a growth spurt causing Osgood disease. She had tried a different brace that was more bulky as well as a similar brace too this one but the back strap was too big for her 10yo leg. This gave her the mobility she needed for gymnastics and worked to relieve the pain! 10/10 would recommend!

      Knee Pain

      My 12 year old son was experiencing fairly significant knee pain below the left kneecap. This brace worked great to mitigate this pain during both soccer and baseball events. After just a few weeks he’s now able to play baseball without it, and only needs to wear the brace when the knee begins to flare up. Great product for mitigating pain and limiting aggravation caused by Osgood Schlatter.

      Helps my 12 year old sons knees

      My son plays travel soccer and recently his knees have really been hurting him after games and practices. I bought a pair- size small for my 12 year old. They fit good with the adjustable strap and my son said they really help with the pain during games and practices. Would definitely recommend!
