Product Information

While the knee is bending and/or straightening there are numerous muscles, tendons, boney alignment, and ligaments that help stabilize the kneecap in the correct position. Some may find the adjustment closures to be uncomfortable against the skin, but overall, this is a very comfortable brace that won’t restrict your movements as you continue to run, play sports, and engage in everyday activities.

You do not need to take your shoes off to put on, can be used on either knee, and can fit over pants if needed. Due to the intense level of compression the brace provides, sizing tends to run small, so be sure to refer to the manufacturer’s size chart before making a purchase.

Arthritis – At least one study suggests that using a flexible knee brace can help reduce pain and increase range of movement in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. This joint has two compartments, the medial (inside of the knee) and lateral (outside of the knee) aspects. If you’re recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, for example, then you’ll need a relatively sturdy brace that protects the knee by limiting its movement.
