Neo-G Hinged Knee Brace - Knee Support for Joint Pain, Patellar Tracking, Meniscus Tear, Ligament Injury, ACL Knee Brace – Hinged Knee Support – Adjustable Compression

I have used a mcdcvid knee brace, which was excellent. This knee brace is even better for me for a number of reasons: 1. It keeps my knee very stable. I play racquetball and that is the main time I use a knee brace. When I play, my knee stays right in place and I typically feel no soreness during or after playing. 2. Fits left or right knee. This works great on both knees. 3. Don't get scratched by the velcro. One of my gripes with the McDavid is that if i wear it on my right knee, it scratches up the left knee. This happens because some of the velcro doesn't fit on the strip and just hangs. This thing is designed nicely so that the velcro all sticks on to the brace. 4. Tight or loose. Some days when my knee is feeling sore I will really compress it tight. This allows me to do that just by pulling the velcro straps tight. It stays just fine and doesn't loosen at all. On the flip side I can put on a bit looser when needed. It is quite adjustable. 5. Not a slip on. The brace can be put on and removed with your shoes still on. Several designs don't do that and I understand that it is for the sake of compression and support. Makes sense but this brace still does a good job of maintaining those things while still be capable of being removed with shoes on. 6. Plastic coverings. The metal supports connect at a very solid plastic hinge. The plastic is nice because it doesn't run the risk of cutting up my legs or possibly other people should I accidentally bump into them. 7. Solid construction. I've had this for a few months already and it seems to be holding up just fine to the abuse I'm heaping on it when I play sports and so forth. Thus far, I haven't been able to see any bad things about it. I'll keep an eye out in case something changes my mind.

I was skeptical about buying these supports, but the cost is minimal compared to their value. I have been wearing them for about 5 days now and have experience no discomfort from the product. It really makes a difference in my old knees. These may help me instead of having a total knee replacement. I thought they might bind behind the knee, but they don't. They don't rise up on my legs nor in anyway hinder my movement. They have been extremely helpful in going up and down stairs again. I would highly recommend these to anyone who has knee pain.

Update - After about 6 months of use (I used about 3 days a week and generally while taking some long walks in the evening but occasionally for a full day while I travelled), the velcro would not hold up and started to constantly slip. The support started slipping down to feet around same time. So, remember this while purchasing. Apparently not covered by warranty replacement as its a one-size product. I have tried Shock Doctor and am trying Mueller Hg80 hinged knee brace right now. Mueller Hg80 hinged brace is not appearing to give me much advantage over Neo G although it is supposed to be more supportive. I will update after more use. Shock Doctor is way more supportive if you need it but it is also bulky and hard on the knee and does not allow all free motions if that is needed. Neo G appears to be good for basic injuries but is much easier to wear for long period of time than Shock Doctor. This is my experience. So, check what your need is and order accordingly. I am going to order one more to replace my previous one which is useless now. I have a grade 1 meniscus tear and was looking for something to support my knee as my basic knee brace stopped helping me. I bought this one and the Stabilized version as they were priced same. However, I did not find any reviews differentiating between them and so was forced to buy both. I noticed significant difference. The Advanced version helps me a lot and so its a keeper. The stabilizer version appears to be for the people with simple sprains or who need a temporary help. For someone with meniscus tear or similar issue, I would get the Advanced version as that will provide much better support. My knee does not hurt and I can walk anywhere and any long using it. Hope this helps someone with hurting knee to make the right choice.

I tore my MCL, a grade 2 tear and sprained my PCL. This has bee very painful and I felt like my leg was going to fold over sideways when standing on it. I tried a brace from Walgreen's that said "One Size Fits All". Right!.... It had hinged side supports but would not clasp my leg properly. I returned that the next day. I took a chance on this brace and it was everything I needed. The metal side braces are hinged so they provide support for your knee when bending it properly, but you gain support on both sides of your knee to keep it from bending sideways. The Velcro straps fasten to the brace anywhere you place them so it does allow you to adjust the tension you want above and below your knee. It can be placed directly on your knee or over your pants which I like at home for added comfort. I got my moneys worth on this one.

Wonderful! I developed a knee problem so bad I could barely walk. This gave me the support I needed to get around pain free. Love how easy it is to put on and take off. Adjustable fit means it doesn't cut off my circulation like the elastic ones did. Better now, but it is good to know that if I need it in the future, it would work on either my right or left leg, or my husband could use it too, since it is fully adjustable. Great purchase and so much cheaper than knee surgery!

This knee brace is comfortable and I appreciate that it isn’t a sleeve so I don’t have to take my shoes off to put it on or take it off. It does provide decent support, but I think it could be better. Part of the problem seems to be the one size fits all approach. I think there is just too much material to get a solid wrap on my knee, which reduces stability/effectiveness. I’m not especially tiny (5’5” and 138 lbs), and this wrap is still a bit too big. That said, it works well enough to allow me to run on the treadmill for 20-30 min w minimal pain.

I can walk again. I am a 46 yr old woman with OA who was fairly active, but have been sidelined by OA pain in my knee. I've sought medical advice by an orthopedic surgeon and have tried various treatments (rooster cone, cortisone, RICE, etc.,) to no avail. I was told that this is a condition I will have to live with for the rest of my life. Boo, bummer...I am still young and want to continue to be active, so I decided to give this knee brace a try. OMG! I am so glad that I did. I can walk again and I am active. I still have some pain, but the brace stabilizes my knee which reduces the pain and allows for mobility. I wear it during the day and remove it at night. I cannot rate or compare the durability or quality of this brace to other braces, but it has worked wonders for me.

Do not buy unless you are sure you will like it and it will fit. Buried in the fine print: NON RETURNABLE. Unacceptable in this day and age. I am a devoted Amazon shopper - this makes me think it's time to find another online shopping place. The item does not fit me, is too aggressive with it's large metal side supports, and is 3x more expensive than the one I kept. So disappointed.

I have a long history of problems with knees, hips and feet. I'm about to have an operation that will make me keep my left foot off the ground for six months, leaving me to hop around on crutches and my right leg only. And it's just at this point that the fibula in my right knee decides to dislocate and play up. I have a few weeks to sort it out or I'll be stuck, completely immobile. In desperation I decided to buy this fairly heavy duty knee brace but I didn't hold out much hope for a miracle cure. Ordering and delivery were swift, easy and the brace arrived much more quickly than I had expected. OK, now this is the part where I sound like the 'stooge' at a faith healer show. I wore this brace for one full day and I really felt the benefit. It did feel very bulky and distinctly odd and I realised that I hadn't positioned it perfectly on this first outing. But the real surprise was when I got home at the end of the day and took it off. My weak knee felt 50 times better than it had that morning. And it didn't wear off; I felt a real and permanent improvement. So, next morning, I was a bit more careful about positioning it just right and it felt much more comfortable and less obtrusive all day. That night there was a further improvement. Now I know that this doesn't count as a 'miracle cure' but, boy, am I impressed! To be clear; I don't have a debilitating injury and I think that I just needed a bit of proper support to help my knee heal itself and, for that, this knee brace has performed brilliantly. Although one of the more up market braces (heavier and with metal hinges), the cost pales into insignificance compared to what it has done to help me. And it won't exactly beak the bank in the first place. I have read reviews saying that, after a while, you don't notice that you're wearing it. Well that hasn't been true for me and, on me, it is pretty bulky, but that's a tiny compromise for getting my mobility back and ridding myself of the constant and nagging ache in my knee. I've had this particular knee injury for more than four months and it just wasn't getting any better. There may be other products out there that do the same thing, possibly more cheaply; I don't know because I haven't tried anything but this. What I can say is that this brace really, really, worked (and continues to work) for me and, as fully paid up cynic, I'm amazed!

Je cherchais un soutien pour le sport (badminton & ski). impeccable et beau design en plus. Confort et maintien comme souhaité.

Presa per mio suocero che ha grossi problemi al ginocchio la ritendo una ottima soluzione con un rapporto qualità prezzo veramente eccellente. Molto pratica da indossare e posizionare.

Costly but paisa vasool go for it. very comfortable supportive and durable item

Kam promt. Sehr gute Verarbeitung. Die Bandage ist sehr stabil. Meine Mutter musste auf einer Seite Metallstangen entfernen. Jetzt trägt sich Bandage sehr gut.
