ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A flexible knee brace for use by athletes or others re- quiring knee support. The knee brace offers generalized support to the knee joint in addition to specifically providing lateral support to inhibit lateral and rotary movement of the knee, and support for the kneecap to prevent hyperextension and dis- location. A base comprised as a tubular sleeve of elastic material is configured to closely fit around the knee joint and adjacent upper and lower leg portions. A plurality of generally upright forwardly curved lateral pockets are provided on the medial and distal sides of the base. Resilient elongate stays are located in the pockets to provide lateral support. Cross straps are provided, each having a fixed end secured to one side of the base and a free end extendable around the front of the leg in straddling relationship to the kneecap, to the other side of the base. Releasable means fix the free end of each of the cross straps to the side of the base opposite to the fixed end.
