Jul 26, 2019 at 7:46 comment added user15958 Please add what your want to protect against, or what activities you're talking about. It makes quite a difference whether you want to prevent injury from e.g. long descents or from falls...

Jul 25, 2019 at 23:05 comment added ab2 I agree with Charlie. I don't see how this is any different from a question about equipment to make hiking and backpacking less tiring or about what materials protect best against the cold or even a Q about protecting against mosquitos or ticks. It's not medical advice, because the OP is not asking about an injured person. As for opinion based, the OP is asking hiking experts for hiking advice. The answers will be experienced based, and because people differ in their joints as in everything else, there will be an element of opinion, but that is true of many questions here.
Jul 25, 2019 at 19:14 comment added Charlie Brumbaugh I am voting to leave it open, there are also sorts of questions about gear for injury/sickness prevention such as water purification/helmets/altitude sickness and this seems no different

Jul 25, 2019 at 16:27 comment added Fenophter @Aravona I've linked to Q&A about knee pain preventive measures, including usage of trekking poles in the question above, but I wonder how to choose and use knee protectors appropriately according to various situations in a hike.
Jul 25, 2019 at 16:21 comment added Aravona @Fenophter have a look at our varied questions on "trekking poles" as a lot of people use these as support and some people find they help the knees. Not medical advice though. Are trekking poles proven to be helpful? >outdoors.stackexchange.com/q/4470/3313
Jul 25, 2019 at 16:13 comment added bob1 I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is asking for medical advice, and will result in primarily opinion-based comment.
