BraceAbility Patellar Tendon Support Strap - Knee Stabilizer Brace with Adjustable Band for Patella Tendonitis, Osgood Schlatter, Soccer, Basketball, Running, Jumper's Knee, Tennis, Volleyball (XS)

This is the best basic knee support I have found. I work in an auto center and on concrete floors. Somehow I twisted/pulled my knee and searched for this kind of support. I have a couple other "knee supports" which are regular size, but use them for my forearms for my elbows tendonitis. These are very similar to the ones i use on my arms, but fit my larger sized knee. I tried "sleeves" which pinched and cut into the top of my thigh and gave my pins and needles of cutting off circulation. But these work perfectly for supporting my knee. They have a flexible tubular design which sits just under the knee cap location and applies supportive pressure. The velcro/ hook and loop closure allows for easy fitting and adjusting for the right amount of pressure. Can be used on either knee. So happy I found these.

I was having trouble with my knee slipping, and causing intense sharp pain. This strap helped gently move my kneecap back in position. I wear it all day until bedtime.

I find it amazing that something so simple could work so well. I could tell the difference from day one, which I half thought was just my expectation of the strap. I suffer from knee pain and get a knot on the side of my knee after over exerting it during a days work but the strap seems to shut off the pain that area and help with the swelling. Yes I said help after all it not a new knee. I do say that if you suffer from knee pain and don't want to were a cumbersome brace then try this one. now the downside it like all other knee braces can bother the back of your leg when sitting for long periods but that is about it.P.S. note to BraceAbility if you put an elaastic band with velcro to allow for relaxed fit while sitting, it would make the brace 100% better.

When I first put this on, I breathed a sigh of relief: my patellar tendon pain decreased significantly. Until, that is, I bent my knee for the first time while wearing it. I immediately realized that the velcro strapping that was used to secure the plastic loop to the band would mean I can never bend my knee while wearing it unless I want to immensely irritate the sensitive skin on the underside of my knee.For no apparent reason, rather than using a non-irritating type of material, they used the reverse side of the velcro (the loop side). I'm assuming it was to save money by not throwing it away or something, since the hook side is what's used for the actual strap? (The velcro is good quality and does its job, I will say that.) I can't see any reason why they would use that material otherwise.I really like the strap other than that, but this makes it practically unwearable for me. I just checked other reviews and see I'm not alone. Someone said they tried trimming that unnecessary velcro piece and it didn't help, so I'm debating between replacing it with a more comfortable, but still strong material, or returning it entirely and hoping some other company's design is better...

I am plus size (ladies size 22/24) and carry most of my weight in my lower half. I have 5 children and we travel a lot. About a year and a half ago we were at a theme park and I twisted my knee but kept walking on it, thinking it was fine. It wasn't. I have injured this knee multiple times before and it gets sore. I put this on, take a little ibuprofen and I am usually good to go. This fits me well. But is more comfortable if I am wearing it over leggings so none of it rubs my legs. But its a quality product and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

I had one of these made by a chiropractor years ago and loved it. Since I can’t do that now I wanted to give this a try. No matter what I did it just would not stay on. Tried to rig it all kinds of ways and it would just slide right back off so I never felt if it actually helped with any pain. Sucks to have wasted money on it

I have chondramalacia and haven't been able to get a good cardio session in for a while. I where these in both legs and am able to speed walk. Recently I was able to jog for a bit with these.These stays your leg due to the rubber grip, but will start to partially slip when you start to heavily sweat. I usually take off to air out my legs and the straps.I think these are a great alternative to uncomfortable knee braces.Also my knees are about 17ish inches so these have plenty room to tighten and still be comfortable.

I wore it for about a minute. Tried to adjust it. But when I bend my leg it impinges. This is not comfortable because it rubs behind the knee.
