Is this for the knee
2003234
no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

Anthony, I got these for my father who has varicose veins in his legs below the knees. These prevent the blood from pooling in the knees.
2003236
It can be, but more to promote circulation and compression in the lower leg.
2003237
Sorry, I meant prevent blood from pooling in the feet. I don't know how effective they are for specific knee joint problems.

yes ,you can cut the length that you need. after just having a right knee reconstruction in november 2013 this works much better than an ace wrap, it stays where you put it. it does come in different sizes so you do need to get the size you need.

It could be if one can keep it from rolling down at the top. And finding a good fit can be tricky. I use a Mueller knee brace mostly for my knee which provides excellent support. Have also used an ACE knee brace, but prefer the Mueller. Good luck.

I would think it would be very helpful for a hip. It was a wonderful help for my knee!

It helped somewhat for the pain, but has done wonders for post op pain. Had both knees replaced and couldn't have made it without it. You need to put the pads so the current goes diagonal across knee.

I don't know how helpful it would be for a knee tear. It is really more for the hock area

No. I have been wearing it for support and my knee does hurt less when I walk around but it will not make your knee stronger. If you want to strengthen the muscles around your knee you will have to turn to careful exercise. Perhaps a couple of visits to a physical therapist to show you how to isolate the muscles and strengthen them without causing further damage.

Yes, it will be big enough for your knee. I love this pad! I've bought three of them, one for my mom, and two for me!!

Yes you can, but I would only buy this if you are wearing some other knee brace on top of it, since this one will roll/slide down your thigh within a few minutes. I got this as a replacement for a bulkier knee brace but end up using it under the of one since that one keeps this up, but this one feels more form fitting.

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

No, but why would you put a Kneedit above the knee? It's designed to support the knee from below. My Kneedit would accommodate a calf about 15 1/2" in diameter.

It is big enough to cover one side of the knee but is not as sturdy as some I have used in the past. The flocked layer which is supposed to make it more comfortable near the skin came off mine before I even used it. An older Theramed was wonderful but began to leak after 10+ years of use. If you are having a knee replacement I would recommend using an electric pump which is provided by the hospital and mine was covered by insurance. Good luck.

My wife had a knee replacement two months ago and used it very day for the first couple of weeks and occasionally since. It can be fitted to some extent. She used it with her leg extended and it wrapped around the knee just fine. You'll like it. We also use it for backaches and anything that needs cold therapy. The white side is super cold. We usually place the blue side to the skin initially, then when it seems most of the cold has dissipated, we flip it over to the white side for another dose of cold.

No it is not. It also is designed poorly causing to great of an angle at the knee.

Yes very much so!! It is comfortable and wearable for support during activities that may produce strain on the knee. I wear it when I exercise and when I'm working for stability which protects from further damage. Get one or two you won't be sorry!!!

I don't have knee pain myself, but page 18 of the Instruction Manual shows how to place the pads for knee treatment, so yes, the unit is designed to work for knee pain.

Yes, the velcro makes it very adjustable. Therefore it should fit while your knee is swollen and as the swelling goes down.

Yes works great I use it for my knee pain to. Set it to 15 min and choose random option.
