No. They're support, rather than protection. For people with messed up knees, it keeps the knee from wandering away under the skin, or the muscles from moving wrong. The muscles do all the work, the bands just keep everything in it's right place.

I'm also leaning toward yes after hearing the answer, hahah

No you said to prevent it from popping out of place, he is saying it's to stop from wandering. Huge difference.

Does wandering sometimes lead to popping out of place?

It may seem that way, but in reality they're both exactly the same.

It's like the difference between wandering over to your local coffee shop, vs. popping in.

The difference is that you don't need them unless you have a bad joint.
