The Cho-Pat Patella Knee Strap is a single black strap that wraps just below the kneecap and presses on the patellar tendon. It is the original patented design of its kind, and the company's Dynamic Pain Diffusion idea is simply that the strap spreads pressure across the tendon instead of pinching one spot. It is one size fits most and adjusts with a hook-and-loop closure, so there is no measuring. Runners, cyclists and other athletes with patellar tendon pain or poor kneecap tracking are the usual buyers. Against sleeves and full braces it is lighter and less restrictive, but it gives no support to the sides of the knee or the joint itself, and some owners find the pressure needs frequent readjusting during long runs.

Owners with runner's knee and patellar tendonitis commonly report less pain during and after activity, and many like that it is light and does not limit movement. Complaints center on fit and slippage: some find the single size too tight or too loose, and a few say it shifts or needs retightening mid-run.
The Cho-Pat Patella Knee Strap is a support strap for the knee. It is meant to relieve pain and discomfort from knee disorders and from degeneration caused by repetitive activities.
The strap stabilizes and tightens the kneecap mechanism. It applies pressure to the patellar tendon below the kneecap. This is intended to improve patella tracking and guide the kneecap into the proper groove. The patented design reduces inflammation and spreads pressure evenly.
Dynamic Pain Diffusion technology absorbs pressure and reduces discomfort without restricting movement. The one-size-fits-most design is fully adjustable, so no measuring is needed.
