The Baseball Knee Saver, a product of AliMed Inc., Dedham, Mass., is an ergonomic device worn on the job by pro catchers such as Sandy Alomar Jr. and Mike Piazza. Alomar, for example, reports an "unbelievable decrease" in knee pain while using his Knee Saver. Now, says AliMed, the device has been modified for use by others who "squat, crouch, kneel, and constantly repeat an up/down motion." Examples: carpet layers, roofers, and tilers.
