- •
The knee joint forces are evaluated with five different kneepads during kneeling.
- •
Kneepads can significantly redistribute loading on the knee joint to varying degrees.
- •
The load distribution was significantly different between knees in extreme positions.
- •
Proper kneepad and neutral posture can reduce the knee load and risk of knee injuries.
