Neo G Hinged Knee Support, Adjusta Fit - Open Patella - Support For Arthritis, Joint Pain, Tendon, Ligament Strains, ACL, Injury Recovery - Adjustable Dials - Class 1 Medical Device - One Size - Black

I bought one to help support my knee which has arthritis, due to 29 years, kneeling, crouching, for my job. It has helped support whilst doing my job. The velcro grips exceptionally well, to a point, it can be hard to remove, but rather that, than something which doesn't hold. I'd recommend.

One thing I can explain here which isn't quite clear in the description, is why 'one size fits all'. Under the four straps are the two hinged metal bars, which have velcro pockets slipped over them either end. This means that no matter what the circumference of your leg, you can fit the bars onto the main part of the material exactly where you want them either side of your knee, not too far forward or back. You only have to do it once, it will be a custom fit, and the attachment is very strong. Then the four main straps wrap around over the top of the fitted bars each time you put it on. There's a couple of squiggly lines of the kind of silicone used for women's hold-ups along the length of the material to help stop it sliding on your leg. A certain amount of tightness is needed to keep the brace as a whole in place, of course. Adjusting how far the brace allows the leg to swing back or forward is very easy, simply by locating pins in holes -- as pictured, the plastic cover on the case is open to reveal the mechanism inside. The covers on the mechanism look a little flimsy, but the unit seems rather robust even if just a tad unrefined in the level of finish. Overall, however, the build quality of this brace seems very good, and it certainly fulfils its function.

Hyperextension of knee still not fully corrected. Also making it tight digs in to thigh muscles

Excellent knee brace. I bought it after a ski accident injuring my ACL and MCL, so needed to restrict my range of movement of my knee (0-90 deg) and to keep my knee stable. As my knee improves I can increase the range of movement on the brace to 120 deg. The brace is comfortable to wear and doesn’t slip down my leg while walking , which my other one which as prescribed for me did. The brace is made of neoprene ( wetsuit material) so I have bought 2 braces and use one for swimming in. It dries within a few hours. Having 4 velro straps may seem a bit irritating when putting the brace on , but it makes it better for sizing and preventing slippage when walking. I would definitely recommend this brace, it seems sturdy and am confident they will last me until my knee is healed.

Can’t fault this. Shall maybe edit this after a while but first impressions are of confidence and it gives much needed relief by reducing compressing the my joint and ligament movement. I’ve set it to the maximum it’ll go on my fat/thick legs. I’ve noticed sweat when taking off at night but it is under my trousers after all. Very noticeable while wearing without too much interference from each side with the metal supports. Convenient enough to release/unstrap the outside support to assist in more dexterity. Just need to keep the Velcro under control by wrapping each strap over itself as it’s very strong and can quickly get in a tangle if not managed neatly.

I have had polio in my left leg and my knee has always been very weak. Over the years it has become weaker and I needed more support. Wearing this brace has helped a great deal in not only giving that extra support it has also alleviated the pain when walking. If you can, like me get advice from a knee specialist before buying. Be advised that you don’t get any instructions on fitting. I find it easier to lay the brace out flat on the settee/bed then place my straight leg in position on top, Velcro in the material and straps holds it firmly in place. For me this brace has helped a great deal.

I ordered this brace to try and prevent my knee from stretching forward. Unfortunately the sizing is very difficult and although I measured my knee the brace is far too big. I can pull the straps around my leg almost twice. It does appear firm and would probably provide good support but for me it just fell down my leg! A pity as I was looking forward to getting some comfort in my knee. Clearly this is not the brace for me.

I have yet to wear the knee support.. as my injury is new and I still have to wear my t scope brace.. overall it's well made .. the fit is good I have larger legs and was worried it wouldn't fit but it does very well .. I shall be using this support in the future when I have recovered more and no longer need my surgical one

I bought this brace due to Natalie the PT that recommended it and the fact that it had a lot of good ratings. I had initially a leg immobilizer and it was terrible. It made my leg feel like hamburger and the pain! I had wore a brace similar to this on my last knee injury. In this case and last, they were both tendon repairs. The previous adjustable brace had a donut hole and maintained massive painful pressure against my knee. I threw it away as soon as I was done with it. With this new brace it has no painful donut hoke, stays put in place, doesn't grind on the leg, helps in compliance towards wearing the brace, very comfortable, eases peace of mind during maneuvers, is extremely easy to set by just looking at the pictures (orange goes in the front), comfortable to sleep wearing, confident about lock mechanism working, love that one size fits all.

I have several varieties of braces of varying strengths to help with my knee. I've had 1 surgery already but require more at some point (knee replacement) however they won't do it right now as I'm "too young". That's a good thing I suppose, except when I'm trying to do active things such as self defense classes. My knee was getting torn up doing some of the moves/kicks, and I decided to go with a more sturdy brace. Pros: Construction appears to be top notch. There are "dials" (if you want to call it that) on the inner and outer knee where the hinge is. You pop open the cover and can adjust the pins inside to allow you full control of how much you can bend or extend your leg in degrees. The straps allow you to secure it to both your upper and lower leg without the need for constant "fidgeting" with it later. This sucker seems to stay put once you adjust it the way you like it. Cons: This thing literally covers about 80% of my leg. I'm 5'2" and if you look at the picture of how much this covers, mine actually covers maybe an inch more top and bottom. Yes, I realize I'm short. :) This brace means business - it will NOT allow your knee to bend other than what you set it for, and while it is very comfortable to wear, just understand that it pretty much immobilizes your entire leg (depending on how much you set the knee joint movement). So far it is well worth the money. I've worn it a few times already and I've had zero complaints. For what I originally purchased it for, however, it really won't suit my needs mainly because it freaks out the other students in my self defense classes and they are afraid to spar with me in case they "hurt me" worse. LOL. I use this brace for those days when I really hurt and need the added support to help me walk, and for my class I use what I call a lower profile option (I combine 2 other braces: a slip on Level 1 brace, with a small wrap-around Level 2 brace from another brand). For those who are choking on the price of this brace in comparison to what you can find in sports stores, etc. all I can say is - so far this appears to be well worth the money. Just understand what this one is designed for. I would classify this as a "professional grade" model, and not one that you would use just to have some support while you're at the gym. Hope this helps!

Great idea and may work for some. Doesn't help my hyperextension problem well. Dial works as intended but since the back of the brace is flexible (neopreme) my knee goes back farther than it should anyway. It does help in that it cushions the extension but does not stop it. I will say that knee stability is improved with it on but not the extension.

I have used many knee braces including the one from the doctor. I have multiple fractures in the tibia around my knee area and this brace works great to keep my knee stable. It's extremely adjustable and does not slip down your leg if you wear pants or not. This knee brace is very comparable to the expensive brace from the dr. and a lot more comfortable, however, the Velcro straps are not very secure and sometimes come loose. I also like the idea that the pens to limit your motion are on a wire so that you will never lose them. Over all, this is a wonderful knee brace to limit your motion of your leg, however you need to be careful of the Velcro straps.

Not everyone has thick legs. I'm 5'5 and due to not walking much ( waiting for a Amputation) I've lost muscle tone. I've spent a lot of money on this, instead of going to medical supplies company. THIS CAME OUT OF MY POCKET! THER SHOULD BE DIFFERENT SIZES. NOW I HAVE TO PAD IT, I FEEL THE SIDES ADJUSTMENTS SO ONE SIZE DO NOT FIT ALL
