The blue rehband is 7 mm thick. Basically it is too thick to walk around in or to even jog. I know this because I thought I would break it in before I did my heavy lifting so I wore it half a day. My knee was sweating like crazy and the thickness does not allow for natural movements for an extended amount of time. Get the thinner rehbands made for jogging. They are the grey ones I believe. You will be thankful

I agree with Amadeus - if you have a running injury, you would be better seeing an orthopaedic specialist or sports medicine doc for a brace/sleeve recommendation. This 'brace' is more of a modified sleeve with little support and minimum compression. It works fairly well for arthritis and minor meniscal injuries, but that's about it.

This product is great for supporting your knees for a short time during intense exercise. If your looking for somthing for all day use, i would recommend getting a compression sleeve. They are comfortable and easy to put on and maintain.

You would have to check with your healthcare provider to answer this question. The Northern California Kaiser foundation provides a referral to a medical rental company who has this and other brands of knee walkers. In my case the cost of the rental was far greater than the cost to purchase the device. When I no longer have a need for it, I will donate it and take the write off!

I had knee replacement, both knees. They do not hurt but "tire" very quickly and I do not spend much timebetween chairs. I wonder if copper knee sleeves would help ?????????????? RDS

It does help and is very useful. I use it every day while walking. It supports the knee very well.

The cloth component is adjustable. I think I have a large knee and it worked well. I only used it while laying down and did not try to walk in it. Its a great product.

I have this exact model but with a different brand name (the buttons are exactly the same) and I specifically use mine on my knee since I had ACL surgery and it's awesome! As per my physical therapist, I connect the wires in an X pattern and make a box around my knee with all four pads.

Not sure, but I believe the size difference is for the width of the knee more than the length of the sleeve.

Take a look at the sizing chart for the knee sleeves. They go pretty small. If they are still too small you could try the elbow sleeves. But having both, they are slightly different in shape and feel.

My knee is 17.5 I am using (L) T10 or TS1. Personally I like T10 better for better protections.

Hello,Thank you for your interest! We strongly suggest that you get a physician's opinion and recommendation based off your diagnosis. However, I can definitely let you know what knee supports are recommended for post op support: Bauerfeind Genutrain P3 Knee and the Reaction Knee Brace. Both knee braces provide more support to the ligaments and knee.MMAR Sports Medicine

No problem. My wife and I, both in out 80s, have 2 of them because we both have bad backs and double knee replacements. They save us a lot of pain, and are easy to use. The magnet helps too.

For squatting they're certainly usable but they're not top of the line. If you really want to invest good money into saving your knees from years of squats, I would highly recommend going the extra mile with some Rehband knee sleeves or SBD knee sleeves. However, those sleeves are only for squatting and leg lifting weight exercises and might only be worth it if you squat frequently and with heavy weights. As for sleeping, you shouldn't be wearing these or any other sleeves when sleeping, I would suggest simply letting your knee air out during and relax during sleep but if you have a knee injury that really does hurt a wrap of some sort would most likely be better for compression. Hope this helps.

the connective tissue holding the patella in place is a bit loose and the patellar strap does the job when I run and when I work out at the gym or hike. For me the problem is not severe, so I do not wear it otherwise. I can picture a person who skied, played football, tennis or other sports that stressed the tendons may choose to (need to) wear it more often. Listen to your knee, it will tell you. This beats the heavy knee wraps that some need to wear.

What I did is previous experience with the brand. I usually buy Nike products in size medium, therefore, I used this as size for the knee sleeve and worked just perfect! I hope this helps

If u wear a large t-shirt I'd go w/LG if u wear a medium I'd go w/medium and so on. I really think it helps! I have the knee sleeve too.
