T:25 KNEE
enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury
Increase speed and vertical while reducing the risk of recurring hamstring and ACL tears.
T:25 PADS APPLY TARGETED COMPRESSION TO TRAIN THE MEDIAL QUADRICEPS AND HAMSTRINGS TO BECOME MORE INVOLVED IN A PATIENT/ATHLETE’S FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT.
t:25 Technology
HOW IT WORKS
By applying T:25 pads to the medial quadriceps and medial hamstring (agonist and antagonist), proprioception and neuromuscular communication are enhanced, causing the femur to be externally rotated improving knee alignment.
Agonist and antagonist muscles work together to create bodily movement.
Agonist Muscles– can cause movement to occur through their own contractions. Also called “prime movers”, because they are the muscles considered primarily responsible for generating a specific movement.
Antagonist Muscles– oppose a specific movement. Controls a motion, slows it down and returns the limb to its initial position.
T:25 PAD IS PLACED VERTICALLY ON THE MEDIAL QUADRICEP
Half-Inch above the end of the sleeve
Medial Quadricep - Medial Hamstring
T:25 PAD IS PLACED HORIZONTALLY ON THE MEDIAL HAMSTRING
2.5 inches above the end of the sleeve
SIZING INSTRUCTIONS:
MEASURE WITH YOUR LEG STRAIGHT
Measure thigh circumference 6" above the top of your patella.
Standard version if height is < 6' (183cm).
Long version if height is > 6' (183cm)
USER GUIDE:
Wear 1.5 hours per day, during motion, for 10 days. Continue to wear 1.5 hours every other day, during training or practice, for the next 6 weeks, or as desired.

T:25 Knee Research
Based on Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), Topical Gear is creating a pre-paradigm shift in the standard care of athletes and patients.
Applying T:25 Technology to the medial quadriceps and hamstrings enhances proprioception and neuromuscular communication with the tendons and ligaments in the knee, training those muscles to respond faster, giving the athlete more time to get out of the vulnerable position, ultimately reducing the risk of injury.
