Knee Support with Open-Patella Design for Joint Pain, Sports, Injury Rehabilitation, Adjustable Knee Brace for Men Woman with 3 Straps, for Knee Circumference (12.5" to 18")

I have a meniscus tear. SO I find it very painful when I walk, the knee is under incredible pressure. This brace seems to give more comfort. It does not have any metal or any such very stiff parts to brace your knee into a certain position, hence I find it excellent for meniscal tear or ligament injuries. This item is actually a support and is great for a joint which needs protection rather than physical bracing. I am happy because this is exactly what I need. I find my knee feels much better when I walk and there is no pain. What I like is that it is easy to adjust and put on with its simple Velcro design. It is definitely your wise choice for knee problem. There are some pictures below you can have a look.

This is a standard neoprene support as far as the last 30 years go.This is a SHORT knee cap open patella support, therefore it may not sit well during exercise compared to a longer unit which has longer straps for added security.The open patella "do-nut" is pathetic, i'm on my 4th support since 1992 & it is the least pronounced 've come across, ..may as well be absent.(for instance IF you are considering this because you have damaged your knee-cap, ex ACL operation or similar then the do-nut hardy protrudes forward enough to offer the brain & the skin tissue confidence of proper support when the knee is in contact with the ground, there simply isn't enough bulk there to be any use!Yes it is affordable but unless you have a short term injury you are likely better off buying a better hinged support with a bigger do-nut to allow more flexibility of movement overall (including weight bearing).This has only one smooth side, (the blue inner) whereas the black is the outer & will degrade prematurely as the velcro hooks seat directly onto both the stitching & the rough side of the neoprene which will also pick up detritus as you go along (outdoor mud granulation, burrs, twigs & brambles) ..& possibly catch on other clothing fabrics such as insulated lined ski & snowboard trousers.Don't expect it to last forever! ..poor generic design whereas a few more pence & a bit more stitching "COULD" have made for a far better trustworthy product.

Once you've figured out that the bottom strap has be very tight, and that if it isn't the cuff will pucker and dig in, you're good to go. I start with the centre strap just to get it into the correct alignment and hold the padding around my patella.It feels a little odd to begin with, but if you wear it for only a few hours at a time it's great. Does the job superbly. I was having real difficulties managing stairs and this cuff has eliminated about 80 percent of the associated arthritic pains i was experiencing.Making stairs something i no longer dread. I would say that it's best not to wear this cuff longer than three or four hours at a time. Because it's made from neoprene and is quite thick, I found I was sweating quite a lot under it. And because it has to be tight to do the job properly, it can leave deep indentations that take a good while to settle back to normal so be aware of what you're wearing and the effects it may have. Good support over short time periods. And for a good price.

I have a weak knee and when doing any kind of sport I experience discomfort, which if ignored escalates into considerable pain which can leave me limping. Previously I've used a simple, unadjustable tube support with limited effectiveness but from the moment I put this support on I could really see the difference and wish I'd bought it sooner. The adjustable straps give you a near perfect fit for optimal support and the removable struts down the side aid this. I use it for running, martial arts, snowboarding and work (which involves manual labor). I can now go a whole day snowboarding without any knee pain during or after which is very impressive considering. For activities like yoga the side struts can be removed for a greater range of movement but sitting cross legged is still difficult when wearing this support. All in all a very effective and robust product comfortable enough to wear all day if you take the time to adjust it carefully when you put it on. Does restrict the range of motion a little but for such a strong support that is a small price to pay.

Good price and maximum support for my sprained knee and torn meniscus. My knee is bigger than average size cause is still swollen but it fitted perfectly. It stays in place during my physio exercises and doesn't slip and it has a good grip that keeps my knee strongly in place when I move around by reducing extra pressure and pain than without it.Impressive delivery,within 24 hours after ordering. Very happy for choosing this product. Would definitely recommend it.

Having now tried a few different TYPES of knee support, particularly variation of the slip on/off type - some of which are NOT so easy to slip on/off, even if up to their intended job, I found this item PERFECT.WHY?Because being wrap-around they are easy to fit as well as being quick and easy to get on/off.(Pre-)Tensioning and adjusting the tightness I.e. degree of support, is very easy because of the triple velcro bands.Switched from full knee sleeve support to this type with holes for the patella bone to move, on the recommendation of my physio (I am currently undergoing physio-rehab), and have no regrets.PLUS, you get a lifetime guarantee.So, PERFECT,

What a difference these knee supports make! I love fell walking but with arthritis in both knees it was becoming to painful. After I bought these supports the pain was all but gone when I walk. In fact these are my second purchase. My friend tried them out and thought they were wonderful, so I have bought her a pair.
