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

I am not one who would think a brace actually fixes anything. Too many years in the Military and too many years of old age, to think it could help...well, I was wrong. This brace (my wife bought it and made me wear it) actually relieved some sharp knee pain I was experiencing it. Now, I put it on for a few hours, at the first hint of pain and it goes away. Pretty impressed.

This knee support is exactly what I was looking for. It offers good support while stabilizing the patella. I have had similar braces where the materials bunched up at the back of the knee. This support is designed without materials directly behind the knee so there is no bunching of material which makes it much more comfortable to wear.

I wear braces on both knees. Bone on bone, arthritis and torn meniscus. The Mueller brace is comfortable to wear for a couple days then I start having some knee discomfort. Not sure if I’m wearing them too tight. The “Velcro” fasteners hold well but if I wear them too loose they slide down my leg. My Dr. Brace knee braces work very well but the fasteners seem to lose their ability to hold after a couple of months. The Mueller braces have half a “donut” supporting under the knee where the Dr. Brace has a full “donut” going around the knee. I’m relatively happy with both knee braces except for the problems I mentioned. If the Mueller brace added some non slip material to the underside of the brace it would solve the need for pulling them so tight to keep them from slipping. If the Dr. Brace group improved their “Velcro” material they would be great.

Twisted my knee for the first time in life, and this was a rescue device that worked. Follow the measurement advice and you won't have a problem. Sadly, not all braces are alike. I own several of this brand's braces and can absolutely recommend their quality.

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).

Because of severe arthritis I wore these on both knees for every waking hour for the last several years. I have purchased many, many pairs. But the most recent two I just purchased have a new design which makes them much more difficult to attach snugly as well as being less comfortable. They now attach at the back of your leg rather than the front or side. My days of buying this brand is over and I have moved onto another brand which I don’t like as well as the original version, but I do like better than this new design. Not sure why they made this change, it doesn’t seem like it would be a big cost savings for them. It almost seems like they sewed the male Velcro onto the shorter straps instead of the longer straps as they have always done previously, and perhaps this was a mistake or accidental. Too bad. Bye, bye Mueller. It was a good few years, but you had to go and mess up a good thing. Maybe I’ll check back in a while to see if they’ve corrected their mistake.

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.
