Does it Protect the back of the knee as well??

No, the band stretches to the back of the knee, but the support ridge, about two inches long, is only on the front.

No, there is only a too-thick padded strap for the back, which I found uncomfortable. I returned the bands largely for that reason, and ordered the Bracoo bands, which cost a fraction of the nike and support patella just as well.

No. All the padding is up front (about 4 inches long). The back is your typical Velcro strapping. I just make sure the back of the straps line up so the Velcro doesn't rub up against the back knee. I don't think they provide support like a knee brace, but they're light and easy to put/take off. Enough support for the patella.

I don't think it's intended to protect the back of the knee, but the padding goes all the way around at the expense of losing some flexibility. (ie. You can't do squats with this band on)

No. This is to put pressure on the patella tendon. This is not used for any protection of the knee.

I've never used it for the knee, but it might provide some support for the back of the knee.

Absolutely! I hurt my knee last year playing soccer and now wear it everyday for added support. The compression isolates the joint for more stability. I even used this winter and was able to go skiing!

It gives your lumbar support while you squat... It doesn't matter how much you are squatting, this protects your back no matter what level of lifting you are at.

yes it just covers the back. It looks great and protect the Ipod at the same time.

Sorry . . .can't help. I've been using it on my hand! But, given how it's working there, I would say yes, it should keep the back of your knee cold.

Yes. In fact that is what I used it for because it is bigger than the knee pad and provides more complete coverage.

It says it does, however I only think exercise can give the knee strength, I was in roll over accident and have bad muscle/nerve issues and it help keep spams sometimes under control and improves blood flow to muscles etc.

I don't know if it can prevent them, but it does help support the knee. It gives it that little extra support you may need.

Yes, designed for either knee, but I wouldn't recommend the product in general - buy the Theramed Universal Hot Pack - much cheaper and much easier to use

Yes (except screen:p) every corner is covered with rubber guard. And then on back come second cover made of plastic which give second safety to back at the Same time it helps to hold rubber cover

I bought this for my mom, so I actually have not used it myself. It doesn't seem like it would work for the knee due to the design. The company has other products, maybe there is one designed for the knee. Jaime Thomas

Yes, it slides up over your knee and should be snug fitting. The two tabbs at the top are useful for pulling it up

It covers the a little more than half the knee in width. When I wrap it around my knee with the gel pack, I put another ice pack behind my knee and the straps hold it in. I do wish we could purchase replacement gel packs.

Absolutely! I hurt my knee playing soccer and now I wear it everyday for added support. It isolates the joint just like more expensive models and

Not at all, there is no discomfort or bunching up behind the knee. It is so comfortable and really gives my knee great support thatis snug enough but not at all too tight! Hope my response helps in you making your decision to buy. I think you will be just as pleased as I am. Btw, I had a total knee replacement and really needed the support, that works!!Do take care,Geneva

Hi Mary, K.Little is correct. It can cover a large man's knee. Problem is it only ices the top and some of the sides. The underside of the knee will require more ice by using more packs.. Seems no one makes a full coverage all around.
