PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a knee supporter which realizes an accurate pressing action in a position where it exhibits the effect of relieving pains without being slid by flexion and extension actions of the knee joint.SOLUTION: The knee supporter 1 is roughly made up of a pressing plate 2 fixing and pressing the knee joint from either the outside or the inside of the knee joint, and a fixing portion 3 which attaches the pressing plate 2 rockably and fixes the knee joint. The pressing plate 2 is constructed of one side 21 forming a curve corresponding to the side shape of the knee bone and two sides 25 and 26 shaped into a chevron shape 24 in the cleavage direction of the knee joint and also the convex side direction of the curve from both ends 22 and 23 of the side forming the curve. The knee supporter assumes the overall shape of a near triangle made up of the three sides.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】膝関節の屈曲伸展動作によっても位置ずれすることなく、痛みの軽減効果を奏する位置での的確な押圧作用を実現する膝用サポータを提供する。【解決手段】膝用サポータ1は、概略、膝関節を膝関節の外側又は内側の一方から固定及び押圧する1枚の押圧板2と、この押圧板2を揺動自在に取りつけ、膝関節を固定する固定部3と、から構成される。押圧板2は、膝蓋骨の側方形状に対応する湾曲を成す1辺21と、この湾曲を成す辺の両端部22,23から、膝関節裂隙方向であって湾曲の凸側方向に向かって山型24に形成される2辺25,26とから構成され、この3辺から構成される全体の形状が略三角形状をなす。【選択図】図1
