Abstract
An energy absorbing, articulated, protective pad with improved articulation for protection of areas of articulation, such as joints of a human body. A pad of energy absorbing material has score lines along a first axis and a second axis. The score lines are cut into said pad to provide articulation of the pad. The pad also has cuts along the second axis at the periphery of the pad that provide flexibility to the pad.
