After reading suggestions and answers here, it seems that we should seek professional advice before using knee protectors. As you have said, one of the other ways to prevent knee pain is to have a stronger knee muscles. Other than walking on a soft ground, we could also develop muscles that protect our knees by doing squats, seated leg raises (see here), and etc. | |

If they are too soft, they don't protect you and will fail you the day you encounter a real injury situation. If they are too hard they will prevent you from using a good technique and you will depend on them your whole life. The only knee-protector you need is your muscles. You may devellop them by walking on a soft ground, like sand, on which you will face multi directional sollicitation that will strenghten your protective muscle quickly, and help devellop protective reflex | |
