2. Description of the Related Art There are various types of knee joint supporters used for treatment and prevention of knee joint diseases. One of them is a sleeve type that uses a main body made of an elastic material in the form of a sleeve, that is, a tubular shape, and the other is a substantially rectangular body that is made of an elastic material and wrapped around the knee joint site, It can be divided into two types, an open type, which is fastened and fixed by a part. With the sleeve type, compression force cannot be adjusted due to individual differences in the circumference of the knee joint, so operation,
There is a difference in the therapeutic effect depending on the manner of mounting, and there is a problem that it is not easy to attach and detach because the tubular main body needs to be pulled up to the knee joint or lowered from the knee joint.
The open type has a problem in that the locking portion on the front surface does not follow the expansion and contraction of the skin, so it is easily displaced, and it takes time and effort to adjust the position, so that it is difficult to mount, and compression around the knee joint cannot be performed.

FIG. 3 is a principle diagram for explaining the operation of the present invention, wherein A shows a knee in an extended state, and B shows a knee in a bent state. (A'-a) or (a "-a) is a low modulus of 20% or more in a range of 10 cm above and below the knee joint where the knee needs to be stretched in the longest direction when the knee is bent. This is the factor that should be the longitudinal (longitudinal) elongation, if the elongation is less than 20% or high modulus, i.e., more than 20% at high load, i.e., more than 20%, it absorbs the knee extension. And the body shifts with respect to the center of the knee, while the portion of the body that is more than 10 cm away from the center of the knee joint has little change in the length direction due to bending or tension of the knee.
The circumferential diameters r 1 and r 2 greatly change. Therefore, this portion may have a small elongation rate in the vertical direction and a large elongation rate in the circumferential direction. If this part is made of a low modulus material, the compression fixing force is insufficient, and the function as a knee joint supporter is insufficient.

By providing a notch at the front of the main body at least 10 cm above and below the center of the knee joint, the notch at the time of bending of the knee is not affected by the extension of the front of the knee, thereby preventing displacement. Also, when the muscles of the knee flex, the muscle fibers of the thigh muscles and the lower leg muscles at locations 10 cm above and below the center of the knee joint are particularly hypertrophic. However, in the present invention, since a narrow belt-shaped member is provided at this location to apply a compressive force, the belt-shaped member bites into the thigh muscle and the lower leg muscle, causing a shift. Absent. Further, since there is a large individual difference in the vicinity of the thigh muscle and the lower leg muscle, the belt-shaped member can cope with the difference in the circumferential diameter, and the wearability is improved.

According to the present invention, since the notch is provided at least in front of the upper end of the main body, it can be easily attached to and detached from the knee joint, and the low modulus, high elasticity of the main body, and the effect of the notch can be obtained. Thereby, it can follow the movement of the skin at the time of bending of the knee well and is hardly displaced, so that the therapeutic and preventive effects for the disease can be maintained.
