Scientific novelty
A medical bandage is applied, providing both secure attachment of the structure to the knee and rehabilitation properties. Hexagonal plates are also used, allowing the structure to be flexible and take the shape of the knee.
Advantages
Reliable patella fixation due to a medical brace, neutralization of acting forces up to 250 N (with correctly selected surface contact area), and a durable frontal protection design.
Commercial implementation
At manufacturing facilities where there is a load on the worker's knees (loaders, construction workers), as well as in sports where knee protection is required without restricting movement.
