I can't remember how I did it but don't waste your money. It looks great in the picture but if you think about it, to be able to straighten your back it has to put lot of torque on your body and it hurts. It cuts into you and is very uncomfortable. Mine is in the garbage can.

Well, it says 22"-46". I guess that is what you go by. I would assume that is the measurement around the chest (under the breast). There is a velcro fastener, so it does "adjust" in that way.

If I recall correctly, you are supposed to measure the circumference of your elbow just above the bend. Then there is a size chart to refer to based on the number of inches. You definitely don't want it too tight, because you'll stop the circulation.

I went by my ring size. If I wear a size 8 ring I bought a size 8 brace/splint.

I would measure the thickest part of your leg, in my case the mid-thigh, as the brace extends from mid-thigh to the mid-calf. It also includes plastic braces which may dig into fatty areas. I removed mine, but it rendered the brace too big. The brace is rather comfortable for a more muscular leg with less discrepancy between top and bottom widths.

i measured mine straight and it seemed a good fit. the straps can tighten it up if its a little lose. the brace is great but it's patella support could be a lot better.

The wrist braces are close to true size. The securing straps are extra long so you can adjusted them.

I agree with T.K.; it's great. Mine continued to stretch out for awhile, so I'd recommend marking the brace height and checking it every once in awhile.

When measuring, ensure that the elbow is slightly bent (about 30° flexion). Measure the circumference at the level of elbow

I used a fabric measuring tape (the flexible one made of cloth) and measured around his body just behind his front legs. That seemed to work OK for me. I think that you could mark the same distance with a ribbon and then compare it to a ruler or tape measure.

I would check the literature sent with the item. We were told to start out gradually and build up to 8-10 hours per day. Do not leave the brace on all the time...

When I ordered my Incredibrace, I also ordered another different brace and used the sizing guidelines the other brace vendor supplied and ordered both types of braces using that and it worked well. The sizing choices I used said that while sitting, measure the circumference of your thigh 4 inches above the top of your knee patella. Small size ranges from 14 inches to 16.5 inches. Medium size ranges from 16.5 to 19 inches. Large ranges from 19 to 21.5 inches. I was able to pick the right size using these guidelines. I love my Incredibrace. It is so comfortable and soothing.
