GENERAL ADVICE
The kneeling position is not natural for humans, and the anatomy of the knee is not appropriate for the long term loads imposed during kneeling. However the kneeling position can be very convenient for some tasks. During them discomfort and injury may occur, hence
workers wish to wear knee protectors which are soft on the inside.
Knee protection provided by something soft to kneel on does not prevent all the problems of pressure and discomfort, and long term skin changes may occur. Adoption of a kneeling position can also always be expected to compromise venous drainage from the lower leg. Inactivity of the calf muscles limits the pressure driving venous blood up the leg and the bent knee inevitably results in compression of popliteal veins and an increase in resistance to blood flow through them. Sitting without movement with the knee bent as in an aircraft is equally well known to lead to circulatory problems such as ankle oedema and deep vein thrombosis even without pressure on the knee. If the knee protection is provided by protectors held onto the legs with straps the problems are worse as these contribute to the pressure restricting venous drainage.
The following advice can be given to users of knee protectors:
a) ensure your knee protectors conform to this document and are in good condition;
b) consider whether knee protectors not strapped onto your legs could be used, as they are preferable;
c) do not over tighten the straps. Wear any straps as loose as is practical to stop your knee protectors sliding off;
d) ensure the straps are not constricting when you kneel down;
e) kneel upright, do not sit on your heels;
f) move around, do not stay still;
g) do not kneel for longer than an hour with any protectors without getting up and walking around;
h) walk around without knee protectors strapped to your legs for at least 10 min after kneeling for one hour;
i) seek medical advice if your knees or calves swell during kneeling work.
