Do you wear a knee brace for tendonitis?
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
How does the patella move?
The patella serves to lengthen the extension moment at the knee by riding up the greater trochanter of the femur and lengthening the quadriceps tendon. It actually sits inside the tendon.

What is the insertion tendon of patella?
The patella is the round bone on the anterior of the knee. You can palpate the surface of the knee and you can gently shift the patella bone side to side. The insertion of the patella bone is quadricep ligament which attaches to the proximal end of the tibia. The origin of the patella is the quadricep tendon. The quadriceps consist of four muscles: rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, and the vastus lateralis.
