Abstract: A brace for aligning and protecting a patella. The brace includes a mounting component for mounting the brace to the leg of the user. The brace also includes a first attachment component attached to the mounting component and a second attachment component superposed on the first attachment component. An alignment component for aligning the patella is releasably attached to the mounting component by the first attachment component. A cushioning component for cushioning the patella is releasably attached to the mounting component by the second attachment component. A cryotherapy or thermal therapy component can alternatively be releasably attached to the mounting component by the second attachment component instead of the cushioning component depending on the needs of the user.
