My sports Dr recommended "old fashioned" leg extensions and those did indeed seem to help.
+1 I bought knee warmers patterned after old-fashioned basketball knee pads may years ago. Went for my first ride, had to pull the straps hard to make my hamstrings and knees happy and they promptly fell down. Made "garter straps" with clips that I clipped into my shorts. They worked well. Now i use a better version, two layers of 300 weight Polar fleece, two lose elastics behind my knee and a velcro strap that runs through D-rings I sew into all my shorts and cycling briefs. (Until it hit 80F, I always wear them. Often with regular kneewarmers over them)
