In my job, I have to stoop, bend, go up and down ladders, squat, etc. Does this brace allow one to squat?

oh yes i is quite flexable and you can bend all you want with it. I use it for bowling, and i do alot of bending in that sport.

I haven't had any such problem with this brace. It's comfortable enough for me. But I don't wear it at night I use it only to keep my trigger thumb in check when I'm doing manual work.

I don't think this is a brace for strength as much as comfort, such as warmth for arthritis. Others may use if for running, but I didn't use it as brace to support a joint for secured mobility.

I can, but I suppose everyone is different. There is nothing I can think of that I can't do while wearing this brace, it just stabilizes my wrist.

Hi Vanessa. Yes, I do use the bench for squats. On the rear of the crutches, there are two heights for the catches. I face in toward the bench when performing a squat. I also use the rear catches for calf raises, good mornings, and behind the neck press.

No. I was not impressed with the "brace"- it really did not add that much stability- much better products available

This brace has adjustable "stops" and you can place them where you need them. The fellow I ordered this for has used them for years and he is rather rough on his equipment. We have been very happy with it.

No reason it shouldn't wok; there is enough adjustment. Just be aware, the brace is rather heavily padded.

Yes it can adjust up or down. You can also do declined as well as inclined bench press

It should, but you might have to back off the adjusting lever enough to allow for the thickness of the braces on each side. You shouldn't have a problem.

nope. This brace is a game changer. I used it while playing hockey never an issue

Yeah.. it might feel a little tight behind the knee though.. but it might depend on how big your legs are... but you should have your knee examined if you are having sharp pains while squatting. You could have something torn and squats even with a brace might make it worse in the long run.

Its should do the job I squat 150 & trying to keep as low as possible was a common struggle . Now with this knee support keeping low isn't one of my problem areas any longer.

I was wrong answering No. I have grasped my brace and attempted to rotate the hinges past straight to see how far I could move them. I'll be darned - the hinges will not rotate past vertical, and will therefore very definitely prevent a backward flex of the knee. My humble apology to anyone that accepted my NO.

Not being a doctor, I can't say for sure. However, I'd think not; that you'd need an articulated brace with hinged metal supports. This brace is equipped with metal springs that permit a full range of motion while providing compression and stabilization.I'd also advise being seen by a qualified physician rather than simply relying on external support for an unstable joint. Whatever the underlying problem, the condition may worsen if not correctly and completely treated.Best wishes.

Yes, It locks all the way to 120 deg of flexion. I have this brace and it worked very well.

For this to work best, in addition to the knees being lifted, the feet should also be further back, closer to your center of gravity (as if you were squatting).
