Nvorliy Hinged ROM Knee Brace with Side Stabilizers & Locking Dials, Post Op Knee Immobilizer for Arthritis, ACL, MCL, PCL, Meniscus Tear, Injurie/Knee Pain, Medical Orthopedic Support (Large)

I just got this brace today and I can already tell there's a difference which is a better difference than the brace that they sent me home with at the hospital. I like the fact that you can move and adjust the bars on the side to the desired area that you need them in for more support. The fact that the locks the brace in place too when you need to stand up is fantastic and I like how it's extra cushion which I think it's going to be an added benefit especially at night being that I have to wear the brace all evening

Im very surprised more people dont know about this one! Some background info for consideration: I'm a 30 y/o male. 5'10". 185 lbs. Very active lifestyle with focus in competitive cycling and Soccer. I tore my ACL 2 weeks ago in my right knee. I've torn the one in my left knee 3 times, so I'm well versed in knee-brace game. I did EXTENSIVE research because I got tired of wasting money on crappy braces. A few features about this one caught my eye. I received it today and WOW, I'm impressed. Straight out of the box it feels well crafted & sturdy. Velcro straps are strong. Hinges feel strong. I played with the hinge settings before putting it in and it's very simple to use. I love that you can move the hinges if you need to, via velcro sleeves they're held in. The 'EXT' & 'FLEX' settings allow you to manipulate the range of mobility with ease. The circle push-lock allows you to lock it in place for true knee immobilization. Its fantastic. Once I put it on, I felt it to be comfy and very snug (big thighs from cycling). So someone skinnier may find it to be a perfect fit. I don't mind wrapping extra tight for a tight fit. Once I got it in snug, I set my current range of mobility and gave it a test walk. I can say with confidence it will give amazing stability. I dont feel like jerky or like my knee will give out. My EXT is set at 30 so I have a slight bend at the knee when I walk, which is perfect. So far, I'm very pleased with this brace! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a brace in the 40-50 dollar range.

The hinge mechanism has always stuck a little when changing the degrees but it has otherwise held up well. A heads up though - unlike every other brace I’ve worn this one you put it on the front of your leg and it wraps to Velcro shut on the back. This makes it awkward to put on and depending on your flexibility quite challenging (basically doing a straight leg lift if you’re applying it yourself).

I tore ligaments and the tendons on my knee and needed brace for long term use while everything heals and then while rehabing from TKR and the torn muscles. This brace is very comfortable and easy to put on and adjust but after using it for 2 weeks I find it impossible to adjust tight enough so that it doesn't slip either over my knee cap (best case scenario) or slip completely down to my ankle. The whole thing has stretched almost 3" and I have repositioned the side braces at least 3 times. I keep it tight enough that it creates dents around my knee and leg but it still falls off. It is less problematic with leggings but still does not stay put. I purchased the smallest size and when measuring, I was almost a medium so the sizing was correct. I need to use a brace for another 4 weeks so I will be getting something that is structurally more stable. Good thing this was not very expensive.

Be very aware: This needs more than one person to attach to leg initially. Lots of velcro involved. The metal joints are in Velcro pockets attached to the main brace with more Velcro. They Stay some what loose. Getting the left and right side joints aligned impossible. The metal joint on inside of leg can hit opposite knee, causing pain in opposite knee. The range locking tabs not easy to use or adjust while wearing. And if your alone , impossible to put on. And the Fabric which is stretchy ,bunches up when applying to knee . I tried 2 different sizes. It seems this was tested for fit on a straight post. and not a human leg which is tapered. A failed product.

I've been using this brace for a week now and really like it. It's helping stabilize my severely injured knee while I wait to see the orthopedist; I suspect a torn patellar tendon since I can't straighten my leg. The brace is strong and can lock in position to immobilize my knee. About the sizing, I measured my bare leg and was in the middle of the medium range, so I ordered size medium. Thank providence that a size large was delivered, since I hadn't taken into account that I likely wouldn't wear it on my bare skin. The size large is working well over my sweat pants. This brace is a lifesaver for me.

I like the fact that the entire hinge "pouch" can be removed as well as the straps. This should improve durability when washed, and because the straps can be positioned where I want, I can stabilize the brace further. When it arrived, the straps were attached near the edges of the brace. This permits the hinge to move outward slightly when kneeling or bending your knee 90 degrees. I found that by moving the straps inward, closer to the patella, it helps prevent this movement in the hinge. The ability to prevent hyperextension, or normal motion beyond my comfort zone is also very helpful to me, and it helps reduce the normal pain and swelling I get from my osteoarthritis by the end of the day. As far as comfort goes, I can wear it all day comfortably. It is as comfortable as any neoprene brace. There are braces with a thinner material that are a bit more comfortable (less hot), but I have not found them outside a medical supply company.

I bought these to help with two knees that have been declared by my orthopaedic surgeon to be "unstable", advising me it was dangerous to walk on our roof or climb a ladder to do normal home maintenance work. So, the straps & click-adjust knee flex limiters on this product seemed to offer a knee stabilizing benefit at less cost than other more exotic braces. I wore them indoors yesterday while I prepped repairs to a room wall and part of the ceiling for repainting after a water leak damaged the drywall months ago.. After five hours involving lots of up & down trips with the fall-prevention step ladder and basement stairs, I had to take these braces off. The problems I experienced ... * the upper strap had sawn into the back of my right knee early on, and I had to stepped down, dropped my pants, and rearrange the straps and padding at least six times try to stop this problem with only partial success * the combination of the upper and lower straps does provide a snug fit, but there is nothing about this design that prevents the brace from sliding down a leg if you climb or descend a stepladder or stairs; the strap arrangements also does not prevent the brace from rotating across the kneecap and interfering with movement; * the adjustable leg bend arc limits seem great, but wearing a heavy pair of jeans and going up and down a stepladder revealed that the limiter mechanism can be reset by your pants as you bend your knees, and does so frequently. Every time I tried to reset the straps, i also found the limiters (all four of them on two braces) had changed settings (once so much so that I nearly lost my footing coming down the ladder because the brace had locked up my knee, making it unable to straighten out); * the setting adjustment toggles grab so strongly on the heavy denim pants fabric that the pair of pants I was wearing had noticeable wear on the inside of the pants legs at the knee level. Fixes required for this to be a good product: - both straps need to be redesigned to add or include padding on their edges and yet hold the brace in the correct location / alignment relative to the kneecap, and do so without cutting off blood supply to the upper and lower leg muscles -- the arc adjustment mechanismss need a way to be locked on their settings so they don't change position on their own -- the center slide that locks each brace angular adjustment feature in place does it so strongly that anyone could easily in break or strip off a fingernail to release it -- if it isn't released, the brace cannot let the leg flex in a normal arc; curiously, this setting mechanism does lock in place, but the other two do not. -- some form of pad or pads need to be present to keep the brace vertically and rotationally positioned around the kneecap; my other pull on braces use a gel rubber pad to hold their position on the kneecap, but this brace has nothing like that feature So yes, I'm sending them back for a full refund.
