Knee braces can help with patella tendonitis or Ilitibail Band syndrome (ITBS) If its patella tendonitis you have (inflammation of the tendon just below the kneecap) then a single patella strap can work really well. It puts pressure through the tendon and supports the kneecap which reduces the forces and friction through the tendon. If it's ITBS - irritation of the iliotibial band on the outer side of the knee, a double knee strap can work well as it puts pressure through the ITB, again reducing friction. You may also find that doing strengthening and stretching exercises helps aswell
