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 have a pair and a bad knee. I use them in martial arts as a shield. I also use them when I do power lunges and kneel exercises. The kneel exercises I do, is I go down on one knee and rise. I also use them in all exercises that require me to go down on my damage knee. They work just fine, one warrening, if you have issues with skin or blood flow from the legs consult a DR.

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. The plastic shell protects against stones and other debris you might encounter. The biggest plus for me remains that they stay in place. I've bought a dozen or so knee pads over the years in search of a pair that would not slip down. With other knee pads, I've knelt down and found out painfully that the kneelers had slipped. It's a pain (pun intended) to find out that your knee pads have slipped, and it's also a pain to be checking them and tugging them up all the time. These kneelers fasten securely, stay in place, and provide great protection. I'm on my second pair; I wore out the first pair after many years. I myself would not buy any other knee pads. Yes.

No, but you would want to find good youth pads. Adult pads are too big. I have been real impressed with the quality of this gear. Even with having to buy separate knee savers.

I believe so. The Velcro attaches in several different locations to allow for size adjustment. I am an average size man and I have wrapped it around twice and used it on my knee.

It will work if he remembers to wear it. (I did not fit it to be snug due to arthritis and I never sleep with it on.) Okay, so you have a way to get him to wear it... I would put his name, street or just zip, and a phone number to reach someone who will help him. I do not know if he lives in a good neighborhood with surrounding good areas. You do not want some unscrupulous person having his address and taking advantage of him. These are just my thoughts and it is a great thing you are doing!

I tried mine on two different people and it just can't seem to stay put. I suggest you find one that has a knee insert. Like a hole where you can fit the ball of your knee in.

It works on my husbands knee, and the problem is the knee is slipping out to the side of his knee..It does keep it stable

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.

Yes, mine fits perfect. As a matter a fact I have purchased another one for the other knee. I hope this is helpful.

I'm not sure Dorothy. I purchased it for a knee replacement. I would check with your doctor.

Hi, Janina. I'd say no. I need a cane for the knee. But I have a sense of style, so I'm very carful when I take it out. Got a compliment on it today in fact. but unless you want to dazzle them, try something that wont break the first time you drop it. Handle with care. Choose wisely. Good luck.

The gel pack covers about one half the knee. It can be located where you want it.

It might help in that it would make you more aware of your knee position, but as a layman, I don't think it would have enough support to prevent hyperextension. In my case I couldn't get the brace to stay put while walking, could be a sizing issue - not sure.

It will work for any sport, you can even take out the plastic supports on the side if you do grappling. The best soft knee brace on the market in my opinion.

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.
