Q Angel Diagram and increased incidence of PFS in Women
As the angel between the hip crest and the tibial tuberosity increases, the femur is unable to sit within the menisci wells of the tibial plateau. Out of the wells, the femoral condyles (or ends) crush the menisci wells and damage the tissues of the knee joint.
Women naturally have a greater Q angle than men and they aggravate it by doing the model walk where one foot is placed directly over the other foot rather than pointing straight ahead. This explains why women are more prone to patellofemoral syndrome.
How Does It Work
Game Changer Brace
A Game Changer Brace Helps in Improving Walking, Jogging and Workout Exercise, The GAMECHANGER restores natural tracking and thus restores normal movement. When normal movement is restored, muscles are able to rehabilitate or train themselves to maintain better alignment and thrush the brace is no longer needed after 2 or 3 months, unless there is already severe damage to knee joint tissues. If there is severe damage or arthritic changes, then the brace may be needed long term.

Cutting Edge Technology without the Scalpel
In the Groove Knee Re-Trainer Brace™ Is the FIRST IN THE LINE OF NEW RE-TRAINER BRACES that reset muscle memory through touch which changes proprioception (knowledge of place and time) to help muscles “remember” where they should move the muscles. How:
- Plastic stays in straps to apply pressure to muscles on the side of leg
- Opposing wrap of bands of In the Groove Knee Re-Trainer Brace™
- Reset Muscle memory to restore
- normal alignment
- normal function
- Result – now knee cap can track in the groove
- reducing damage – bones no longer scrape each other
- reducing pain with each movement.
Muscles only have two actions, much like a switch: contract or relax. But, unlike a switch, they can partially contract or partially relax. With these two motions they move bones by adjusting where and how much they move the bones they are attached to; they adjust the position of the bones.
If the muscle gets stretched or damaged, they can lose their “programming or memory” of how much they should contract or relax when they move the bones. Thus, they may either over correct their position or under correct their position which can result in bones no longer being in alignment. Out of alignment, bones can scrape each other, which can cause pain and damage to the bones.

How Do I Use In the Groove Knee Re-Training Brace™:
- Wrap the In the Groove Knee Re-Training Brace around the sore knee with the body of the brace on the back of the knee
- Attach the top (longer) strap around the thigh and attach the hook section to the loop strap so that it is comfortable and tight enough to stay on your leg when you stand up. Do not pull the strap so tight that it cuts circulation.
- Now attach the lower (shorter) strap the opposite direction so that the hook section attaches to the loop strap. Again, wrap it around the lower leg so that it is comfortable and tight enough to stay on the leg when you stand up, but not so tight that it cuts circulation. If you are going to be sitting for a long time, or on a long flight, you can either un-attach the lower strap or attach it looser to not reduce circulation and re-attach strap before you get up.

Why Choose Groove
Don’t be misled by cheap imitators. No other knee brace can use our Patented technology. Only the GAMECHANGER from In The Groove trains your muscles to allow the patella to track correctly. The Knee joint is the largest joint in the body and is more likely to be injured than is any other joint in the body. The GAMECHANGER restores natural tracking and thus restores normal movement. When normal movement is restored, muscles are able to rehabilitate or train themselves to maintain better alignment and thrus the brace is no longer needed after 2 or 3 months, unless there is already severe damage to knee joint tissues. If there is severe damage or arthritic changes, then the brace may be needed long term.
Inexpensive braces that just apply equal pressure around the knee neither help align the bones nor allow the normal rotational action of “In The Groove”. Very expensive braces that try to support the entire weight of your body on the calf can never give the comfort that you feel with the “GameChanger”. It helps your body support your weight naturally on the parts of the knee where it was intended to rest.
“In The Groove” helps to align the thigh over the lower leg which supports the entire weight of the body. Any brace that does not align the thigh over the lower leg (tibia) does not help to reduce the damage done to the knee joint bones and cartilage with each and every movement of the knee. When normal alignment is restored, pain is reduced, more normal function is restored and there is the potential to not only reduce further damage to the knee joint, but also to allow the body to heal where possible.

Testimonials
I have had two major injuries during my career—both ACL tears. There is a lot of pressure inside and outside of schools and organizations to recover quickly, which I appreciate, but it’s up to young athletes, parents and coaches to take steps to recover safely and guard against injury and re-injury. This will only allow for a stronger, better return to sport in the long run.
