Nvorliy Hinged ROM Knee Brace with Side Stabilizers & Locking Dials, Post Op Knee Immobilizer for Arthritis, ACL, MCL, PCL, Meniscus Tear, Injurie/Knee Pain, Medical Orthopedic Support (Large)

I needed to stabilize a knee sprain or tear. This did the job. It has adjustable angle settings which work, but I found that it was in the way when I needed to sit at my desk. So, I just ignored those and used it for lateral stability. It took me a while to figure out how to attach this correctly. It would ride downward during the day. At least once a day, I needed to adjust it. Wore this for 2 months. It helped and I'm now walking without it. I was skeptical about it holding up, but it retired still in good shape. It was too bulky to fit inside my pants which are loose fitting anyway. Had to wear it as outer wear.

Im very surprised more people dont know about this one! Some background info for consideration: I'm a 30 y/o male. 5'10". 185 lbs. Very active lifestyle with focus in competitive cycling and Soccer. I tore my ACL 2 weeks ago in my right knee. I've torn the one in my left knee 3 times, so I'm well versed in knee-brace game. I did EXTENSIVE research because I got tired of wasting money on crappy braces. A few features about this one caught my eye. I received it today and WOW, I'm impressed. Straight out of the box it feels well crafted & sturdy. Velcro straps are strong. Hinges feel strong. I played with the hinge settings before putting it in and it's very simple to use. I love that you can move the hinges if you need to, via velcro sleeves they're held in. The 'EXT' & 'FLEX' settings allow you to manipulate the range of mobility with ease. The circle push-lock allows you to lock it in place for true knee immobilization. Its fantastic. Once I put it on, I felt it to be comfy and very snug (big thighs from cycling). So someone skinnier may find it to be a perfect fit. I don't mind wrapping extra tight for a tight fit. Once I got it in snug, I set my current range of mobility and gave it a test walk. I can say with confidence it will give amazing stability. I dont feel like jerky or like my knee will give out. My EXT is set at 30 so I have a slight bend at the knee when I walk, which is perfect. So far, I'm very pleased with this brace! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a brace in the 40-50 dollar range.

Thought this would be perfect for me. But, I just wasn't able to get it set-up like I needed so it was returned. It seems well-made. However, the side dials beat me. They seemed to stick out too far on either side and I never figured out how to set it up. SO, I felt it was best to return. This had many great reviews and videos: I believe it was just me that could not wrap my mind about the set-up. Hope it works for you: and Hope you get better soon...

For the price it's hard to argue with. However, I bought the brace to prevent myself absent-mindedly locking out my knee, and this brace does a much better job of preventing knee bending than knee extension. I am able, even with pretty draconian settings, to lock my knee out casually. It also fits pretty snug on me despite following the sizing. I don't mind snug but if this brace *almost* fits you, the velcro will not completely overlap, and will dig into your skin, and it is pretty sharp velcro. ***Pros*** Price - About as good as you could ask for for the price. Locking Knee braces can go for $500+, and many of those aren't as good as this one. Preventing Knee Bending - This is solid for preventing contraction/bending of the knee. Lock is Easy to Use - Pretty obvious how the locks work immediately. Light and foldable - packs up easily, thin enough to wear under clothes. ***Cons*** Not Good at preventing Knee Lockout - I found that even when setting the brace to keep my leg at a near 45 degree angle, I can still stand up straight with only mild discomfort. If you are considering purchasing this to help you prevent yourself from casually locking your knee out, I would suggest getting something more heavy duty. Not Super easy get on "right" by yourself - Personally I found it, not exactly hard, but fairly fiddly to get it back on with correct tightness and positioning, without the velcro digging into me. This is probably the case for any velcro or lace based brace, but it is worth pointing out that you may need to put it on and walk around a bit, then adjust multiple times before you get it just right. ***Mixed*** Runs a bit small - I have basically never needed a large in anything, but I am 5'10", 180 Lbs, with fairly muscular thighs, so I got the Large version here according to the listed instructions. The Brace fit below my knee but only barely fit above my knee, with some adjustment though, it does fit. Velcro Discomfort - If the brace fits you but just barely, or you just put it on hastily, the velcro will not fully overlap with its connection... flap. This will cause part of the very sharp velcro strip to scratch your leg. This could be potentially alleviate by wearing it over some tights or something, but I didn't attempt it. ***Conclusion*** Overall I would say if you need to add some medium support, or prevent/restrict knee bending for a limited period of time, or need locking a brace that is easier to travel with, this is about as good as you can do for the money.

A useless design it does not stop your leg from hyperextending. I did a deep dive into full on understanding how the mechanism works and how you can set it at zero to stop your leg from hyperextending it is completely useless. I did measure exactly before I ordered I know that I have the right size... do not waste your money.

Bought this based on other reviews after I fractured my kneecap and was told I needed to be in an immobilizer for at least 4-6 weeks. I've worn it for a full week so far (except to bathe) and have had no discomfort, slipping, or other issues. Easy to use, adjust, and take on/off. I prefer to wear it over a light bandage or legginfs, but it could be worn on bare skin comfortably. I'm currently not supposed to bend my leg, so I have it locked to 180, and there is a little give, but not enough that I don't feel secure. I had an appointment with an orthopedic specialist today who was very impressed with the product and asked where I got it and how much I paid, and he was blown away by the quality for the price. In his words, "We'd probably charge you a few hundred bucks for that thing"! I'll be in it for a few more weeks and will update if any issues arise, but overall, I've been very happy with this, especially for the price.

Had a ruptured patella repaired by surgeon got this during my recovery it works very well

I bought these to help with two knees that have been declared by my orthopaedic surgeon to be "unstable", advising me it was dangerous to walk on our roof or climb a ladder to do normal home maintenance work. So, the straps & click-adjust knee flex limiters on this product seemed to offer a knee stabilizing benefit at less cost than other more exotic braces. I wore them indoors yesterday while I prepped repairs to a room wall and part of the ceiling for repainting after a water leak damaged the drywall months ago.. After five hours involving lots of up & down trips with the fall-prevention step ladder and basement stairs, I had to take these braces off. The problems I experienced ... * the upper strap had sawn into the back of my right knee early on, and I had to stepped down, dropped my pants, and rearrange the straps and padding at least six times try to stop this problem with only partial success * the combination of the upper and lower straps does provide a snug fit, but there is nothing about this design that prevents the brace from sliding down a leg if you climb or descend a stepladder or stairs; the strap arrangements also does not prevent the brace from rotating across the kneecap and interfering with movement; * the adjustable leg bend arc limits seem great, but wearing a heavy pair of jeans and going up and down a stepladder revealed that the limiter mechanism can be reset by your pants as you bend your knees, and does so frequently. Every time I tried to reset the straps, i also found the limiters (all four of them on two braces) had changed settings (once so much so that I nearly lost my footing coming down the ladder because the brace had locked up my knee, making it unable to straighten out); * the setting adjustment toggles grab so strongly on the heavy denim pants fabric that the pair of pants I was wearing had noticeable wear on the inside of the pants legs at the knee level. Fixes required for this to be a good product: - both straps need to be redesigned to add or include padding on their edges and yet hold the brace in the correct location / alignment relative to the kneecap, and do so without cutting off blood supply to the upper and lower leg muscles -- the arc adjustment mechanismss need a way to be locked on their settings so they don't change position on their own -- the center slide that locks each brace angular adjustment feature in place does it so strongly that anyone could easily in break or strip off a fingernail to release it -- if it isn't released, the brace cannot let the leg flex in a normal arc; curiously, this setting mechanism does lock in place, but the other two do not. -- some form of pad or pads need to be present to keep the brace vertically and rotationally positioned around the kneecap; my other pull on braces use a gel rubber pad to hold their position on the kneecap, but this brace has nothing like that feature So yes, I'm sending them back for a full refund.

Very well made unfortunately the fit wasn't ideal for me ....

Traía una rodillera rígida por una fractura _ esta rodillera permitió tener flexibilidad en mi rodilla .

Has helped stabilize my knee and I needed the adjustable angles as my knee healed. Has stood up to the use.

Good product, does a great job

I'm not going to lie, at first i saw this product and was a little skeptical, i figured something for this price couldn't possibly work, could it? but it came in early today and I have been wearing all day, my leg feels great, no more giving out randomly to fall to my knees, and it relieves tension on my knee in which i permanently damaged in a vehicle accident years prior. Thank you, very impressed and would 100% recommend for anyone in need of knee support or pain.
