Vastus and Patellar Protection with Range of motion Pad – Advanced Personal Protective Equipment for the Lower Body Abstract The ts andard knee pad is considered the most ineffective personal protective equipment in the American football player’s uniform. This study quantitatively and qualitatively assesses personal protective equipment for the lower body for U.S. football players against the VAPPR Pad (Vastus And Patellar Protection with Range of motion), the next iteration of lower body protection.
