I'm confused as to where to measure. There is a 5 inch difference between the middle of my knee, and just above my knee. Which measurement do I use?

Measure around the leg over top of the kneecap and order according to the size chart shown. The brace is shaped to accommodate the shape of the leg. At least it worked fine for me.

You go to the Bauerfiend website specific to your region (I went to the USA website), click on products, and navitage to the specific model you are interested in, in this example I'll use the GenuTrain support: http://www.bauerfeindusa.com/en/products/supports-orthoses/knee-hip-thigh/genutrain.htmlFrom there, you click on the Technical Details tab, and the size chart is right there. It asks that you take two measurements, one above and one below the knee, and that is how you determine size.Hope this helps.

Since you have to pull the support up over your thigh to position the knee support correctly I would think you would go with that measurement.

Run a search for Pro-Tec Knee Strap on line, like Google. It will tell you to measure around your knee, under the knee cap. The instructions will tell you what size to order per your measurement.

height is relative to your seating not the desk height. In your chair, how much knee room you have should be greater than 6 inches.

To determine what size is right for you, measure the circumference of your leg 5 cm above the centre of your knee. Knee Brace M 12-14 inches Knee Brace L 14-16 inches Knee Brace XL 16-18 inches Knee Brace XXL 18-22 inches

Ok here is what I did for you. I put on the band and at the very top of it (when on) it measures 26" and can expand more (feels comfortable). 3" above the knee measures ~23" and again is very comfortable with more room. I would say if you are between 20 and 24 (maybe 25) around the knee, you will be fine as there are straps that hold the thing in place.When ON:On the knee cap measures 22.5"below the knee cap measures 19"

Knees (my knees) cannot fit, just the lower legs, and it's not 30 inches, more like half of that.

Get a tape measure and wrap it around your knee and see how many inches you are ... 14 inches is a medium. . I weigh 162 and I got a med

You know, I think it depends on your leg size. I think I'm at the very end of it fitting. I'm close to that size. The problem is the velcro goes onto the skin and can irritate it. My leg measures 17-19-21. for where it hits each part of the knee area.

I think that is what I measured as well Dorene... I went with the medium with this. You want it to be tight not overly so though. It's supposed to sort of keep the knee in the proper position and that it does. The only way to completely do that would be a neoprene sleeve but I have not worn that for quite sometime. Only right after miniscus surgery and I wanted to play tennis 6 weeks after surgery. Then I needed the sleeve. But after about 2 months of wearing the sleeve I went to this and it keeps the knee very steady and I have had no more issues with my knee. Hope that this helps. I think that you can always send this item back if it does not work for you but i did go with the medium not the large.

I followed the instructions for measuring my knee around the center and ordered a regular based on a 16" knee. When it arrived the knee part felt fine but my thigh was too large for it to even begin to connect to the Velcro. I am now in the process of trying to figure out what size to try next...large or extra large. The quality of the brace seems to be very good and of course, how can you beat Amazon's excellent service!

I JUST put mine up in the attic so I cant't personally check it. But this range was listed in the description. I'm 5'8". It was GREAT to have! I had a big toe fusion on Oct 30 and had to be non weight bearing for 11 weeks! It was so helpful. I'd say bend your knee straight back and have someone measure the distance to the floor to see if it's in the range listed below. Good luck to you. Knee Support Height Range: 17" - 22.5"

That's a good question! I actually took a tape measure and wrapped it around my knee and calves to determine a size. Once you have a size in mind I would then go to the McDavid website and check out their size chart to determine which size will work best for you. My results after measuring with the tape measure was 18, which led to determining my size, which a large, based on McDavid's website. The key is determining where the placement of the sleeve is best for you. If you would like it over your knee's measure the knee. If you would like it placed right above or near your calves, measure your calf muscle. Hope this helps! That's a good question!
