knee pad
Patella protection device
A knee pad is a protective cushion worn over the knee, typically strapped or fitted into clothing.
Athletes wear knee pads in sports like volleyball, basketball, and skateboarding to absorb impact from falls or floor contact.
Workers in trades requiring kneeling—tile setters, gardeners, carpet installers—wear them to reduce joint strain: My knee pads saved me during the renovation.
