NEENCA Professional Knee Brace for Knee Pain, Hinged Knee Support with Patented X-Strap Fixing System, Medical for Pain Relief, Arthritis, Meniscus Tear, ACL, PCL, MCL, Runner, Sport -FSA/HSA Eligible

I love this brace. In addition to having bone-on-bone Osteoarthritis, I also tore the Meniscus on my left knee.I have a different, more complex brace to wear when I go outside (I use a wheelchair mostly), but when I am home, I prefer a less cumbersome brace. Most braces do not support my knee well enough to control the pain.I finally bought this knee brace, and I now I have a winner.Throughout the day, I may sit in a regular chair or I may have to recline on my bed, because of disability. This brace allows me to keep it on even when I am reclining on the bed. It is comfortable no matter where I sit or if I am doing "furniture walking" in the apartment.Other braces did not have enough support, but this one has a lot of support.With other braces, the velcro began to NOT stick much too quickly. This brace seems to have medical-grade velcro, which is much stronger and usually lasts much longer than retail-grade aka sports-grade velcro. The only thing with the stronger velcro is that it takes a while to learn how to use it without irritating the skin on your fingers.It helps to not pull at it with the tips of the fingers. I've learned to sort of use the sides of my fingers, and that lessens the strain on my fingers.I like that there is a double strap on the top and on the bottom, allowing me to tighten (or loosen) the brace as much as I need.My only caution is choosing the size. I measured my thigh as they said to do, and my measurement was right at the border of 2 different sizes; the max on one size and the least on the next size. Since I read one reviewer say the brace was too big for her, I decided to buy the smaller of the 2 choices. Well, it turned out to be way too small for me, not even getting over my knee!I finally reached out to the seller, even though I thought I had waited too long (busy with treatments for breast cancer & other health issues), It was the last date they allowed for returns, and it was late at night. I decided to try anyway. I sent them an email, explaining the situation. The next morning, A Saturday, they responded & said they would be sending out the larger size immediately, which they did. I had it Monday morning!The larger brace fit me fine. I wanted to wait a while before doing a review. I wanted to have time to use the brace for a while, to see how good a job it does and to see if the fabric & side hinges felt sturdy. After wearing it every day for a few weeks, I have to say I am very satisfied with it. It does not irritate my skin at any point, & the hinges feel strong and are supportive. The knee cushion is very protective, too.

THIS KNEE BRACE IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT. I AM A PHYSICAL THERAPIST AND THE PROFESSIONAL BRACES ARE FITTED TO THE PATIENT THROUGH A PROFESSIONAL WHO DOES THIS FOR A LIVING.THE SIZE CHART IS SPOT ON. I DONT FIND IT TO BE BULKY AND I FEEL THE DESIGN IS MADE TO HELP WITH A VARIETY OF DIAGNOSES. IT IS VERY COMFORTABLE AND AT THE SAME TIME, IT SUPPORTS YOUR KNEE. THE TWO SIDE UPRIGHTS PROTECTS THE LIGAMENTS ON EITHER SIDE OF YOUR KNEE AND THE OPENING AT THE KNEE HELPS WITH PATELLAR TENDONITIS AND DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE NATURAL TRACKING OF THE KNEE CAP. WHEN YOU FLEX OR EXTEND, THE KNEE CAP DOES NOT MOVE UP AND DOWN IN A STRAIGHT LINE. RATHER, IT FOLLOWS AN “S” CURVE. THIS BRACE DIMINISHES PAIN AND CAN BE ALSO BE USED FOR ACL OR PCL PROBLEMS AND A MINOR MENISCUS TEAR.THE PRICE IS EXTREMELY REASONABLE FOR THE SUPPORT YOU GET. IF YOU WERE FITTED FOR A BRACE, MINIMALLY ITS $200 and COULD GO TO $500 AND DEPENDING ON YOUR INSURANCE, It is OUT OF POCKET. ALSO, MEASUREMENT WISE, I FELL ON THE MAX NUMBER FOR THE 3x, so I OPTED FOR THE 4x. I’m SO GLAD I DID BECAUSE THE 3x WOULD NOT HAVE FIT. AS A RESULT, I HAVE A LITTLE EXTRA ROOM AROUND THE KNEE CAP, BUT I USED A SMALL BRACE THAT IS THIN AND GOES AROUND THE PATELLAR TENDON BECAUSE I DO HAVE TENDONITIS AND OSTEOARTHRITIS. I HAD ONE ON HAND, BUT THEY ARE SUPER CHEAP IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN MY SITUATION.MY AMBULATION HAS IMPROVED CONSIDERABLY. IT IS ALL DUE TO THIS BRACE. I ORDERED TWO OTHER ONES THAT WERE NOT ANY GOOD BEFORE I FOUND THIS ONE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT, AND I WILL RECOMMEND IT TO THE APPROPRIATE PATIENTS, AND FOR THOSE WHO’S INSURANCE WILL NOT COVER A CUSTOM BRACE THAT THEY CANNOT AFFORD.AGAIN, I FEEL THIS IS AS CLOSE TO A CUSTOM BRACE THAT IS SUPER CHEAP COMPARED TO THE COST OF A CUSTOM BRACE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT AND GIVE IT AN A+It is NOT PERFECT, BUT IT HASNOT BEEN MEASURED SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR KNEE(S). I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS BRACE WILL HELP YOUR KNEE OR KNEES CONSIDERABLY!!! BUY WITH CONFIDENCE AND WITHOUT RESERVATION!!!…..(SIDE NOTE: REMEMBER TO ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PT OR YOUR MD IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY BEING TREATED, FOR SAFEY’S SAKE AND SO IT CAN BE ASSESSED ON YOU.)

I love this knee brace. It helps support my knee very well and eliminates a lot of my pain, though not all, but I can’t expect it to ease it all. I even fell while wearing it and it helped prevent a lot of potential damage and pain to my knee that would’ve occurred had I not been wearing it. It took most of the impact as I fell on the top of the knee part where the circular padding is. I wore this while hiking and I honestly believe my knee would’ve been much more worn afterwards had I not worn this brace.I love that it has so much size adjustability and that it isn’t so bulky and ugly. It also bends with my knee very well and seems well built.It holds up pretty nicely and overall is definitely worth the purchase.It is seamless in the way that it has to be put on like a pair of jeans instead of being placed over top and strapped on like some other smaller ones. This is nice as it helps with the support, however, it does cause struggle with wearing over my jeans as they ride up with the brace as I pull it up into place. I’m sure if I got a larger size this may help at least a little bit.The only thing I don’t love about it is that it keeps slightly bunching at the knee pit and causing discomfort there and it tends to slip down a smidge requiring adjusting, though not as bad as some others. This might be remedied if I got a larger size, but I’m not sure.

This holds up well. Living in a hot area, it needs to be frequently washed and we have not had it even start to come apart on the seams or anything. Durability is a 10/10 for frequent washing and everyday use. Comfortable and gets the job done. When I’m wearing it I don’t have strain on my knee and it relieves knee pain. I would definitely buy it again, but thankfully my other knee is fine and this product is well made!
