Run Forever Sports Patella Strap Knee Brace Support for Arthritis, ACL, Running, Basketball, Meniscus Tear, Sports, Athletic. Best Knee Brace for Hiking, Soccer, Volleyball & Squats

The media could not be loaded. I have ehlers-danlos, and this is amazing for that condition. They help support my niece so that way I do not hyperextend. I am able to stand straight because these press into my knees and just the right way. The material is really soft and stretchy. The velcro is extremely sturdy. If I tighten them too much it hurts to sit a little bit, but I can just loosen them easily with one of the two straps provided. It has helped me become more Mobile in areas I wasn't able to before. I haven't washed them yet, but they look like material that's easy to wash.

I purchased these for my son who was diagnosed with Osgood Schlatter's disease in his knees after his doc recommended purchasing some type of brace or device. We first purchased a knee brace (that we got from the doc) that was designed to help his condition. It was made of pliable rubber but cracked after a couple uses and they were somewhat bulky. I found these straps on Amazon and thought I would try them out. I wouldn't say it cured him (they won't to the best of my knowledge), but immediately when he put them on, he said that he felt stability and support in his knees immediately. He has been using these for about 6 weeks now and they seem to really help relieve the pain he was experiencing at practices, and they aren't obtrusive either...he is a running back and linebacker and these still allow him to move around the field easily such as running routes, pass coverage, etc. Construction wise, they are still holding up well and seem to be made of durable materials. He is still in pre-season at this point and not full pads yet due to Covid, but I do believe they will work and hold up well during the regular season. He is 13 and fairly solid and the sizing is adjustable so he will be able to use these as he grows as well.Within a few days after I purchased them, I received a follow up email from the company regarding my purchase, which was nice. Based on that email, if we were to have an issue with them (we haven't) I would imagine they would be there to help us out.If your young athlete is experiencing Osgood Schlatter's, this might be a good choice for you to help them out. He is also doing physical therapy and additional stretching exercises, so these are only a piece of the puzzle for him, but they are an important one. I would recommend them!!

After wearing it at first I thought I would have to return it. I kept it and was glad I did as it did and does give me support with my knee pain which is on the left side of my knee. I wore it for a week when walking and I no longer have to use it.

I could actually run without my knees hurting for the first time in forever. These provide amazing support.

This product was purchased to replace a similar one that had a single wrap. The velcro had given out and it is no longer sold. I liked the fact that this had a double wrap and snugged up under the patella. I was leery of the "one size fits most" description and the "medium" label. I'm a female on the smaller side, but like most, could stand to loose some weight. My knee measures 13.75 inches. Nowhere could I find deminsional guidance. But satisfaction was high, so I purchased. After all, it says "With a unique curved design and our special comfort blend, our Patella Strap is insanely comfortable and can be worn by anyone! It fits small or big people, men and women, and if it doesn't fit, just let us know and we'll take care of you!" Whatever that mens. I guess it kind of fits in that it does not fall off of me and I can adjust the compression which were my goals. What I want the buyer to know is that normally wrapped, the straps overlap about 2 inches. Even loosely wrapped, like I would wrap it if I were going to be sitting, they overlap some. This increases the chance of them getting caught on the back of chairs (which are not made for short people) and long pants tend to bunch up. Does the product do the job it is intended to do? Yes. But I think most competitive products would. I know that the lower profile of the product I bought these to replace did too, without the bulk. So, my message for the manufacturer is that a bit more truth or clarity in your advertising would have been appreciated by me. None of us like to feel we have been deceived.

I had been having knee issues with pain and instability for years. After several falls and limited mobility, an MRI revealed that I had a torn ACL, medial and lateral meniscus and arthritis. The pain had gotten so bad I could barely walk. I tried multiple braces including my custom ACL brace from a previous surgery and compression type braces, but nothing seemed to help. I had surgery planned for a few weeks away and needed to be able to work until, so I kept searching for other things I could try to get me by. I saw several reviews on this little strap and how well it worked for so many people. The price was low and I figured I had nothing to lose, so I ordered one right away. It was easy to put on and adjusts with velcro on both sides. I tightened it under my knee cap and took a few test steps. I was amazed at how much stability it gave me and pain relief. With all my issues, I still had some pain of course but I was able to walk better than I had in months! This was a huge relief! I couldn't believe something so small and seemingly simple could help so much. It almost seemed to keep my tibia from slipping and while wearing it, my knee didn't pop out of place fully like it had been. We had a beach trip planned and I was debating canceling it since I could hardly and was scared my knee would go out. I was able to go though and wear this strap and do some minor walking. I even wore it in the ocean and was able to enjoy that! I had fully expected to be stuck at our vacation rental, but this little strap helped me to do more than I thought possible. I wore it all the way up until my surgery. I have pain and arthritis in my other knee as well so I plan on using it for that knee too so I plan on using it when that one acts up as well. Wonderful product!
