Cho-Pat Large Black Dual Action Knee Strap

If you have a 'dodgy' knee that clicks and wanders, then this is the brace for you. It doesn't ride up or down like some, and is great to wear when doing your exercises to keep the knee in place.

Suffering from patella femoral syndrome and my knee was doing my head in when trying to squat, dead lift or even jog. I was reading a body building forum and somebody recommended one of these so I bought it to try. Putting it simply it's awesome! Adds much needed stability and now my training is back to normal :)

I bought this strap as I have "Jumper's Knee", and was informed that getting a strap would help for both running and sporting purposes. One thing I would say is that although the strap is comfortable and does help alleviate pain while running in a straight line, if you are doing something that involves turning and lateral movement (football, tennis etc) then it seems to be more of a hindrance than a help, and sometimes does "shift" slightly when turning - I would often give up on it after 5 minutes or so as I seem to always need to readjust it no matter how tight I do it up. Like I said though, it completely depends on your activity. I would recommend this for those who like to run - it does feel strange at first but by mile 3 you don't notice it!

Good buy

Good product

Found this extremely uncomfortable havebourchased an alternative which is much easier to wear

Good protection on knee when running.

Been wearing this type of support for quite a few years now. Not really built for lateral support but does help with knee pain due to meniscus and ligament injury and arthritis. It is very easy to put on and comfortable to wear for long periods, although I often loosen it a bit when I sit down. This is my fourth one and bought to replace earlier ones which become a bit over stretchy and nobbily over the course of a year or so, probably due to washing frequently.

Sehr gut!

Really good strap

I shattered my leg in 2007. I spent 3 years on and off in a hospital bed while it took 2 different surgeons 7 surgeries to fix my leg. Internal reduction/external fixation, at one point had to have the leg re-broken (Taylor spacial frame) due to malunion and now the bone is forever deformed from my injury. It was a mess! The last surgery to remove all the plates and screws was in March 2010 and I have spent the last 6 years trying to get my life back on track while working full time and trying to live a "normal" life. Of course, due to my injury, I will need a total knee replacement (the tibia plateau is "mangled" according to my ortho doc), but at 41, they won't touch me for another 20 years. To boot, I have torn meniscus (both sides) and joint compression has already begun. I have been working with the doctor and the pt folks to get a knee brace. Because my leg is a little different, it's been hard; un-loaders don't work because I have problems on both sides and pressure in the wrong place causes extreme pain. My knee went out again in January 2016 (pain so bad that I could hardly walk). I went through the Euflexxa injections (successful experience!) in March and have spent the last 7 months gearing up to chaperone my son on his Disney trip (April 2016) for his school's show choir group (when you are a gimp, one must plan ahead!). Why am I telling you all of this? Because this brace saved my life! I tried to wear the one I got from the doctor, but it was too uncomfortable, so I went to Amazon and started looking around. I wasn't sure what to do and was desperate because it was literally 2 weeks from my trip and I was so afraid that I couldn't be able to be the "cool mom" that I wanted to be for this adventure. I got the brace in and put it on - IMMEDIATELY, I felt a difference! I could tell the pressure was off the outside of my knee joint and it felt like I was walking "straight" for the first time in 6 years. My limp was much less pronounced and I felt great after my walk! End Result: I was able to chaperone my son's trip to Disney, walked 48 miles that week (YEP, 48 MILES - 32 in 3 days) and was only sore for A DAY after I got home!! I will be ordering multiples in different colors to go with my clothes as these will be with me for life! You have no idea how wonderful it felt to hear my 12 yr old say "Mom! You are walking too fast, I can't keep up!" after what I have been through! Thank you for such an excellent product and for helping me on that final leg of my journey back to mobility!

Comfortable, brings stability and pain relief to my ageing knee when hiking.
