are they padded enough so when kneeling on arthritic knee it will prevent pain
1530200
I don't have arthritic knee, so I cannot guarantee anything. I weigh 135 lb and it's thick enough for me to land or hit on hard surface freely during airsoft or tactical shooting drills.

Isn't pain tolerance something only you can answer? All i can say is that I wear these to snowboard... Have fallen on rocks hidden under snow without issue. I can 'take a knee' when i want to, need to. I'll not board without them.For the price, I'd suggest just trying them out. or perhaps, go to home depot, take a pair of knee pads and see if you're able to 'take a knee' without pain. I'd suspect that pain would be due to pressure of kneeling / pressure of weighting your knee, as opposed to any pressure of the ground puts on your knee. If that's the case, it wouldn't matter if you were kneeling on a mattress, or concrete. Isn't pain tolerance something only you can answer? All i can say is that I wear these to snowboard...

Yes, I think so. Not overly padded, but the stiff part helps to distribute the pressure pretty well.

I don't have arthritic knees so I can't really answer for sure but I weigh about 220lbs and have landed with my knees onto rocks while running and never felt any pain.

If the pain is related to the movement of the joint then these would not be helpful. If you just need "impact" protection with flexibility...then they rock!!
1530206
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.

I doubt it. They protect against bumps from the surface you are kneeling on and the occasional bump. There are much more heavily padded kneepads out there - try Alta. They just don't fit as nice for walking.

In my opinion ...NO...why they did not add a little more padding is beyond me...

I'm using a narrow pad that was originally intended to be used while kneeling during gardening. Works perfectly!

I wear one because my knee was taken out by an accident. I do not wear them everyday, but when I do they help and they do no harm.

I don't know. I do know that they are pretty functional and do a good job of protecting my knees. when properly adjusted they stay up

Yes, this is well padded and would be great for that. I am a personal trainer and use this for a couple of my older adult clients for floor work and it is great for protecting knees and elbows.

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)

I would assume you could since the knee pad is wide enough not to roll and the kneepad is placed on properly.

I would think not. there is a different material underneath. I would not suggest wearing a knee brace/support other then it's original intention.

Yes they have padding; I love them. The padding is not super thick but definitely works.

They are fitted in the leg. i do not think you could get knee pads under the pant leg.

I wear them playing softball. They keep my knees from getting skinned up when I dive catching ground balls. Been wearing these type of knee pads for many years and they have saved my knees.

Can be depending on how in shape your knees are. I do some of the exercises in Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis and my knees have held up well.

Hey there. I bought these 5 or 6 months ago to wear while cleaning apartments, and they are amazing! The best knee pads I've ever used. They are kinda big, but I think you would be able to wear them under scrubs just fine---as long as they are baggy. They do feel most comfortable on the outside of your pants though. I always preferred wearing them when I had jeans on as opposed to just basketball shorts. David

I have been wearing Propper Lightweight pants for five years and I would have told you no but I looked closer and they all do have a pocket for knee pads. I had to fold the pant leg back to find it. It always looked just like a reinforced knee but the pocket is there.

I would say that these would work as well as anything else that would be out there and better than alot of other options. They are pretty close fitting. The whole things are basically neoprene and mesh on the back. There is no cap on them on the knees. The knee part is thicker neoprene. If anything would work in that respect I would think these would.good luck,Eoin

Yes, there is a knee pad cover that sells, also at Amazon, for around $17.90.

yeah they are bit big, but its worth to buy and try out. If it fits you can use these for long time as they seem to be of good quality. Or you can use the elbow pads as the knee pads initially.
