It is commonly used for patellofemoral pain, kneecap tracking problems, and some overuse conditions around the front of the knee. Most designs wrap around the knee or sit just below the kneecap to change how forces travel through the joint. It is widely used in sports medicine, orthopedics, and physical therapy settings."}
