Stabilizing Patella Knee Strap | Patella Tendon Brace for Running, Cycling, Hiking, and Sports | Pain Relief and Support, Knee Stabilizer Brace For Exercise

I’m not the target client for this device. My knees are bone on bone with no cartilage left. I get steroid shots every other month that help for a few days…then it’s a matter of gutting it out until the next shot. I rely on Tylenol and do as little standing and walking as possible because of the pain. My daughter suggested these knee braces, and I hesitated because I realize they are not designed for my problem. However, I am amazed at their effectiveness. I tried a different version for about five minutes, but the plastic clips it used cut into my knees. Before giving up, I ordered this version and I couldn’t be happier. I make sure the backside is below the bend in my knee, which makes them comfortable, then I angle the braces up and adjust them on each knee depending on where the discomfort is. I’m not pain-free, but I’m not relying on Tylenol and I can get up with minimal pain and walk without my cane. What a blessing.❣️

Unfortunately, made in China. Which is why that info is left out of the product description.The product is decent. Allows you to adjust as tight as needed. It should be used as support for an activity such as running then removed. It would likely become uncomfortable if used as an all-day type of support.

Super comfortable. Recommend to those tired knees, this gives support and it’s light wear.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Didn’t love it, scratchy straps

I've used various patella straps to relieve tendon pain while lifting, doing HITT/crossfit style workouts, and playing rugby. These are the best. The Chopat Straps (the ones my PT gave me originally) have the velcro on the back of the knee, meaning that they are pretty irritating depending on how tight they need to be worn and how long the strap is. The main innovation with these is that the velcro is all in the front, and doesn't catch at all. They are also very secure (have never come off playing rugby) and low profile in comparison to some of the heavier straps. Would recommend, I'm going to buy a few more pairs.

All of the other bands were too big and bulky and so they either limited her motion too much or hurt her. Or they fell down. The one her doctor gave her was an adult size band of a different style and it bothered her too much. So looking around I found this one and it's nice and slim but holds tight enough. May not last the longest as the velcro and band have worn to where they don't stick. But I've continued to buy new ones of this type because they're so much better and she barely notices them there. I think they're generally cheaper than the other bands too.For context, my daughter is an average height but skinny 11 year old. She's definitely on the small side for the strap but it works. I think her knee circumference in that spot is 11 inches.

Awful quality. Got this because Donjoy discontinued their version. I've used the Donjoy for 12+ years and it's held together wonderfully. The velcro on this one started disintegrating within 20 uses and was unusable after 100 or so.

Bought one large size for my son who injured his knee. He loved it and said it really helped him while playing the sport. He asked me to purchase a second one for his other knee.
