Shock Doctor Ultra Knee Support with Bilateral Hinges

Waiting for knee replacement I was given two different braces from hospital that were of little use, bought this one and it’s made such a difference, it’s well made made, strong with a hinge on the knee, I can wear it from getting up to going to bed without discomfort and it keeps my knee stable, wish I had bought it sooner.

I twisted my knee last year and damaged my ACL. “Could take 6-9 months” I was told. Oh joy! “Get a decent support” I was also told so I spent £20 on a popular blue one on Amazon and found it did nothing. Except made me sweat! So I manned up and splashed out on this one and yes, within 3 days it started to make my knee a lot more comfortable. Now 2 months later it is a lot better. I still use it daily and it is very comfortable to wear. Getting the right size is important. It has geared metal side supports which work together with the straps to offer excellent support and comfort. If your told to get a knee support please don’t mess around with cheap ones and get this one. So why the missing star if it’s so good? Well, I’m not sure how long it will last. Whilst wearing shorts I was kneeling for about an hour and later noticed the hinge on one of the supports had worn into the honeycombed material cover. Yes I was a bit surprised, and disappointed, but to be honest if I needed a replacement I would buy the same again.

Will seem tight as a sleeve opposed to a wrap around but I tried the bigger size which was also tight even tho the hinges were far too big and once I'd broken it in it was fine, stick to the guide chart! As for the quality of the product, not only was it extremely well made but it did it's job better than I could've ever imagined. I did some minor ligament damage about 4 years ago and have since caused cartilage damage from multiple further injuries resulting from the 1st, some skiing, some drunken dancing, some simply running, the knee just crumbles underneath me. It doesn't hurt but I won't be able to get up for a few minutes or walk properly for a couple of days. Every time the knee gets weaker causing injuries to occur easier and more often but more to the point I could no longer ski for more than a few hours at a time before it was too weak and the other leg was burning from doing all the work. From the moment I put this support on I felt indestructible again and even had a little go in the park for the 1st time in a couple of years! I actually used the phrase "It's like having a new knee" to my friend.

Had to purchase largest size (6ft, 15 stone male with reasonable slim legs) ~ I thought this might turn out to be extravagant waste. In contrast, the product was absolutely superb. Have nursed persistent knee injury for 25 years and, from experience, aware that demands of mountain trekking typically leads to injury flaring up and taking months to heal. Item supplied rapidly, sizing instructions were spot on and practical use was far better than dared to hope. Extremely comfortable; much better than neoprene sleeve, which wrinkles behind keen and causes nasty sores. Used this Shock Doctor throughout demanding Mountain Leader (ML) assessment in foul weather in North Wales and found it remarkably effective; no sign of pain or aggravated injury despite very arduous trekking/mountain climbing/descent. Thoroughly recommended as an absolute god-send.

Im a little disappointed. Started of really good but now after a couple of months it seems to have stretched and doesn't stay in the correct position. There are cheaper alternatives that do just as good a job if not better

I have oestrogen arthritis in my knee and so it is unstable….this is the first brace that I’ve worn that gives me total support. The design and quality of materials is fantastic. It doesn’t move all through the day and the strap system stops pinching behind the knee which is a constant problem with all other knee supports I’ve had. I drive for a living and it is very comfortable even being in the same driving position for hours on end. As others state, the sizing is a bit on the small size…my knee measured 16” so was on the lower end of XXL. That size is supposed to be for up to 17.25” but I doubt if it would fit any knee much over 16.5” so be aware. Wish I’d bought one years ago.

Sadly it doesn't do exactly what it says on the tin. Despite the positive reviews and measuring beforehand I found this product to be a poor fit, loose at the calf, tight at the thigh. The adjustable straps do not fit the diameter of the support support sleeve. Costs too much to not offer the support needed

I purchased recently for a skiing holiday to support a recently arthritic knee with some muscular problems. In general the product support was excellent and I am in no doubt that without it I would not have been able to ski. As others have indicated the brace stays in place most of the time. The only small downside was that on one day I have to wear a thermal base under-layer and in that situation the brace did slip a small amount, presumably since the base layer is smoother than skin. It was easy to move back into place though. In general I would fully recommend this product.

サポート感は抜群で、膝を曲げずとも歩行できるのですが 残念な事に、履くタイプで装脱着に苦労します。 Mueller(ミューラー) アジャスタブルヒンジニーブレイス 54557の方がお勧め。

Working through a sprained MCL and torn meniscus and use 3 different models from shock doctor. All of them are great, this one provides the most support and yet I'm still able to wear it on the ice and skate. Definitely gives me the support I need and would recommend this to anyone wanting to get active but dealing with knee issues.

Nach einem überstandenen Patellasyndrom, sowie einer Verletzung der Außenbänder im Training, ist das Knie noch recht weich und gerade durch das geschädigte Außenband etwas instabil bei Kontakt. Nun habe ich die Bandage mehrere Male zum Laufen getragen und ebenso im Training (draußen/Halle) testen können. Selbst bei hartem Kontakt hält diese Orthese (als Bandage würde ich dieses Produkt nicht mehr bezeichnen) das Knie sehr stabil und schafft Vertrauen in einen sicheren Stand. Wird man auch mal zu Boden gerungen und fällt noch ein Mitspieler auf das lädierte Knie, so hatte ich auch dann keine Beeinträchtigungen verspürt oder gar die Metallschienen (die Polsterung nach innen scheint sehr gut zu sein). Zumindest für das Training (Football) kann ich dieses Produkt sehr empfehlen. Ich bin gespannt wie sich die Orthese im Spiel verhält und ob sie die Saison übersteht.
