Sports Medicine Self Adjusting Knee Brace for Men and Women, Knee Stabilizer for Compression and Pain Relief Support, Ideal for Arthritis, Sprains, Black, One Size

Supports my arthritic knee pretty well. I’m wearing it for daily wear, not jogging/running or other sports. Walking and daily activity. Comfortable enough, with no pinching or gouging, to wear all day. I sleep in it as well when I need some nighttime relief. Replaced an older Ace open back brace, and this is as good or better. Prevents the soreness, stiffness and swelling I get when active and not wearing a brace. I much prefer the open/wrap around style. The pull on/over style is just not as convenient for me as the wrap around. I also believe the wrap around braces are more comfortable. The brace can also be put on or taken off without removing shoes. That’s a big deal if you want, or need, to remove the brace during the day, or forget to put it on before putting your shoes on. I’ve only had it a month or so, so I can’t speak to how durable the brace is, or isn’t. . It’s a $15 brace, it’s not a miracle device. If you needed a knee replacement 5 years ago and still haven’t had it done, it’s probably not going to help you all that much. For an old damaged, 4 times operated on knee that is going to need to be replaced in a few years, it is helping delay that replacement. Good support. Comfortable. Convenient. Having crappy knees and being old simultaneously, isn’t for the weak. This brace makes life easier and less painful. Update - this brace is still working and performing as desired. Sad to note the design change. Seems like a bad decision. Maybe they'll change it back.

Works good for my wife

This Mueller brace is light weight, well made, comfortable and not too bulky under clothes, but it was not enough side support for my knee pain from a torn meniscus. If Mueller makes a brace with hinged side braces, that would be a better choice if you need strong support. I kept this Mueller to wear for light support later, after my knee heals. I bought the Abyon with hinged side supports to wear for maximum support to help relieve my knee pain. It really helps stabilize my knee and ease the pain, but the Abyon is a bit bulkier than the Mueller under clothes.

Helped my daughter with her tendonitis issue.

Good support, but the cut made it difficult to secure properly. Had the same model previously that functioned without any problems. Quality control appears to be a little lacking.

First impressions here. Used this brace yesterday just after it arrived. The fit is perfect for my legs. I have an older Mueller brace that wraps the leg in the same way but also has added Velcro brace straps above and below the knee cap. That old one is 20 years old now. I've always considered it the best brace ever. This new brace has cross bracing built in both above and below the knee cap so the very same support there but without the added Velcro attachments to make. Not needed for this brace since it still provides that same level of support around the knee cap. The patella support ring shows in the listing here on Amazon as being a complete circle but it is not. It is really just a half circle that is only around the lower half of the knee cap opening. But that's where it should be for the best support there. I read a review for this brace about the material around the patella opening fraying in a very short time of use. Since I only just received this yesterday and only have used it once so far I can only go by my experience with my 20 year old brace. That one is the very same material around that opening without the stitching for the patella support pad and it has not frayed nor does it show much wear at all... and it is 20 years old and has seen a great many uses over the years. So I'm not worried about any fraying, but we'll see in time. I am 67 and still sometimes have to climb a ladder or stairs. I live in a house with a lower level and a full flight of stairs going down, 14 steps and also my deck has a single run of 15 steps to go down to the back yard. If I am doing things that require going up and down those steps or the step ladder several times in a day my knees hurt. Going up builds muscle, but going down can damage the joints. I wanted 2 knee braces and initially wanted to get a second one just like my old one. But this is the closest in design to what my old one is and after using it I feel it will be just as good as my old one. So now I do have 2 braces.

I put this on an 8 1/2 X 11 piece of printer paper for size reference. First, the gel "donut" is only half, not all the way around. The other brace I bought from a different brand has a full circle of padding. The straps and Velcro are sturdy but one side is very, very small area of Velcro that the strap is supposed to attach to. For comfort, there is no leeway, or the Velcro scratches the back of your leg. There is no give to the straps at all which is good for support but since the long strap also attaches to a very small area of Velcro, I'm not sure how there is a "range" of sizes listed. The other brace I purchased, based on the measurements, according to the directions, fit me perfectly. This is too small and CANNOT BE RETURNED. My bad, I guess, for not paying attention to the return policy. I thought it was an Amazon Prime item. Second, if this is NOT a returnable item, then I would love to know why the one that I received had CLEARLY BEEN OPENED BY SOMEONE ELSE, YET SOLD AS NEW. The clear security tape had been opened removed and was folded over the plastic packaging. This was NOT NEW, though it is not dirty, so hard to tell if it has been worn before. My guess is that someone else had the same experience that I did but was somehow able to return it. I try to buy items manufactured in the USA, when available but in this case, although the item seems sturdy it's very poorly designed for a "range" of sizes as "one size" does not fit "most". Very disappointed in the inaccurate sizing and a used item sold as new. I am now stuck with two braces (since I also bought the hinged version and it's too small as well).

Excellent product

Very nice product for stabilisation

Die Kniestütze funktioniert, ist leicht anzulegen und bietet einen (gefühlsmäßig) wirklich stabilen Halt. Genau das was ich gesucht habe. Die Knieprobleme beim Joggen (Ich weiß, nich joggen wenn das Knie weh tun.....) sind mit der Stütze Geschichte. Das Material und die Verarbeitung machen auf mich auch einen sehr guten Eindruck. Einziger Kritikpunkt für mich ist die Größe. Meine Beine sind nich gerade Schlank, aber ich muss die Stütze um einen festen Halt zu bekommen etwas -wie soll ich sagen- "überlappen" beim Schließen. Sie hält aber trotzdem. Is eben 1 size... Also wenn man nicht zu schlanke Beine hat dann gibt's von mir ne klare Kaufempfehlung.

However, sweat may cause a slight displacement over the knee because of the continuous movements.

Offers good support and mobility while bending and lifting weights

My wife has has injuries to her knees over the years and about a year ago she bought one of these to wear in the gym and found that they aided her a lot. When her other knee started to give her discomfort she decided to have support for it. In my wisdom I decided that she should try a different type with ajustable straps to see if that would be better. Bad mistake. The other one proved to be too large and restricting. I returned it to amazon and bought this one again and there was happiness all round. This stabalizer provides just enough support without making you look like an out and out Jock.
