Knee brace for arthritis,ACL and meniscus tear,Open-Patella Stabiliser, Adjustable Brace,Best knee pad support for Sports Injury Rehabilitation & Protection against re-injury (Single)

I had just started running and I hurt my knee. I tried loads of different braces but none would stay up as I have big leg muscles. when I saw that this had the straps which give more support I thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did. during my recovery I used this brace to help with walking. as I got better I was able to run with it. I did have to put a bit of cloth on the back of the knee when I ran as the Velcro rubbed my leg. but it was ok when walking. this helped me through my injury and I am ok now. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for the other knee just in case. this is a good brace with lots of support. great for the price. I would highly recommend.

Overall I found this support well made, robust and effective. Ensure you put it on as per the product diagram and that it isn't too tight or loose. I found best to fit it with the leg straight and apply straps so that there's space to insert a finger. It's reasonably comfortable to wear while giving good knee support while walking and going up/down stairs. Just note that this is not one of the elasticated type, apart from the straps.

I recently twisted my knee and have been experiencing joint pain and some weakness. Having already had existing knee issues, I felt I wanted to look for a product to offer slightly more support that my usual tubular bandage, as I needed to return to work, where I am on the move a great deal, pushing wheelchairs and engaging in active pursuits. I was concerned about the sizing when ordering this item, as I do have larger thighs (am a size 16 female) and my measurement in this area was above those suggested on the size chart. I needed something asap though and couldn't find anything that seemed to suit my needs more. I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived. It has elastic around the middle and thick velcro tabs forming the top and bottom, meaning it is easily adjustable. It doesn't feel restrictive when on and is comfortable, without any chafing or other such negative points. It fits me perfectly, despite my initial concerns. This product, of course, doesn't eliminate knee issues, but does enable the joint to be supported. I have found that after a fair amount of exertion in a day, I do still really struggle come the evening, and so this product does only help to a certain extent. It is ideal for people engaging in a sporting activity- it has been great for gym classes and meant I could go back sooner than I would have otherwise. I got this as it came up as during my search as something good for swimming, which I needed it for, for work. As such I thought it may be waterproof in some way. Unfortunately it did mean that it would be good during the activity, but would take a fair amount of time to dry and so couldn't be worn afterwards. I'm pleased with how this had helped and with the sizing. It is a little tricky to set right if the elastic gets twisted whilst off, but once I figured this out I could wear it for a good few hours daily, which helped me when I needed it most.

I have owned a number of knee straps over the years and bought these to help me avoid injury whilst playing racketball. They do provide good support but I have two criticisms. Firstly, the second time I used my new straps, one of the Velcro fasteners tore off the wrap-around adjustment strap. Secondly, the straps fasten behind the knee which can be a bit uncomfortable if you don’t get the Velcro patches perfectly lined up. Otherwise a good, sturdy strap that does help me.

Worked wonders for my knee was able to play football properly again

Really helped!!

Excellent. Really helps with my meniscus tear. Great support. Fits well. Only slight bugbear is the velcro scratches skin. I solved it by placing a little piece of felt at the bottom end of the velcro where it was touching the skin. Works perfectly!

Good fit, and keeps my knee well supported, could have been a slight bit longer hence 4 stars
