Does anyone know if it matters which knee you use it for? Would a left work fine for a right and vice versa?

The knee supports are the same right and left - it doesn't matter which leg you put them on.

I have tried this on occasion (even though not recommended) and think it works fine. The fabric weave is just a bit different on each side; the outer-side of the brace is where the seam is located. No comfort differences, and no support variation that I can notice.

I was originally measured by a rep from the company in a doctors office. He told me they are fitted for each knee and can't be worn on the wrong knee. I did try it and I found it irritated my knee. I've been wearing these for 5 years now, I've had 8 knee surgeries and these are the most comfortable braces I've worn as long as they are on the correct knee.

I have one and it did matter. There is a difference, though by looking at it you may not notice, but for me the side metal/plastic parts rubbed in the wrong area's on my right leg. The one I bought was for the left side. Unfortunately they are designed for one side not both. But you can always try it and if their is no pain... but it won't work 100% optimally.

I'm not sure. You might check with Janome to see if they have a knee control that would work with this machine.

It would depend on the severity of damaged cartilage. My husband and I use it and it works really well. I have knee pain on the left side and I used it daily for a time and now do not have to use it daily. My husband uses it on several of his joints and it works. It is very good for inflammation of the joints but not a cure all. If you are unsure I would suggest that you ask a medical person. We like and are still using it.

It appears to work on both - I use it on my left - easy to put on and protects shin and ankle.

You do NOT have to buy one for each knee... unless you want both knees to be undergoing treatment at the same time. The electric lead wires are color coded, and the AcuKnee will arrive at your home PRE-SET for use on your RIGHT knee. There are specific instructions in how to swap the red/black lead wires so that the AcuKnee can be used on your LEFT knee. There is text regarding the correct setup for the RIGHT KNEE printed on the inside of the AcuKnee, so even if you don't have your manual, you can still get it correct. Just reverse the plugs when you use it on your LEFT knee... then swap it back to "normal" setting (for the RIGHT knee) before packing it away. That way it will always come out of the box, ready for use on the RIGHT knee. That's the way I keep it straight. So... just buy ONE, then plan on sitting in front of the TV and watching your favorite shows while your AcuKnee handles one leg and then swap out the leads and treat the other leg.

I have only used it on my right side, however i am sure you could use it for either side.

So you can wear it left handed or right handed and it fits either way. Also, you can use both sides this way.

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.

Recommendation from a friend with a similar knee problem. The one I chose has been great. The only complaint I have is that periodically the cushion on the back of my knee moves and then the strap rubs the skin.

hey man, didnt see one specifically for a lefty, but i got one for my 71-f700, now the saddle is not notched at all only the not but the notches that are cut in the nut are so miniscul everyone will have to cut the proper size notches. So case in point this will work for you as it did for me, but just a heads up. 1-this product is not bone 2-the nut will be off by a lite 1/8" 3-the saddle after begin centered will leave a 3/8 space on each side of saddle due to the fact that yamaha uses long saddles for some reason. It got my guitar sounding damn good. But if your very perticular measure an buy exactly what u need!!!

The one I got is specifically fitted for the right hand, so I would assume the left would be specifically for left. If I were you I would contact 3M to find out specifically before purchasing.http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Workspace-Solutions-NA/Workspace-Solutions/Products/~/3M-Ergonomic-Mouse-EM500GPS-AM-Small-Medium?N=7581766+3294529207+3294776748&rt;=rud

Yes, it work for either righty or lefty. My husband is a lefty and he loves is!

Not certain about "Both Sides"............I assume at the same time????...................I don't think so unless it's a Child's knee, especially if you "Fill" it with Ice. One may have better results to Two Smaller ones............but there again, you get into "QUALITY" with the smaller ones. Great question, tho. Good luck.........and Happy New Year !!!!!!..........all year long.

Hey peter I would say left since you're right handed me I'm a lefty so I pull from my right side and when u wear it it should be on your left side so u can pull with right if that's what u asking lol

Conflicting answers here about which is for righties and which for lefties. Maybe we should all go and try to find someone answering the question on YouTube. Or, someplace where the mfgr answers.

Seems to work just fine. The primary user with mine is a lefty. The pad orientation can be flipped in the settings.

Yes, I have the same problem in my right knee and that is why I bought these. While the knee can still be in pain, it prevents further irritation and allows me to move comfortably.
