Can this brace be used while running?

not really - it is designed to maintain a straight leg. I'm using it to support an injured LCL

I am not into running but I would think that it would cause a problem. I purchased mine as a result of the pain I was experiencing playing Golf. This brace was a lifesaver as far as playing golf was concerned. I have suggested to a couple of my golfing buddies and would suggest it for anyone with knee problems.

I use mine daily playing tennis with no problems. This is the 2d one I have owned. The 1st is still usable but looks a little scruffy. You'll hardly notice you've got it on.

No i think they will not be very comfortable while running. The other thing is that they are very tight on the knee top and create some discomfort. So what i will recommend is that try elastic one the reason i purchased these one was i thought they will be very good in support but turn out that they are good at supporting your knee but they have other problems as mentioned above. I hope this helps.

I have not tried it for running. I use it for kick boxing. Its good for that. My concern is that it might make the skin on your leg raw for running

my husband uses his while gardening, I don't think it would work well for running as it's pretty stiff

I use the brace to play basketball after my acl replacement. The metal on the sides prevents lateral movement. And the lock prevents hyper extension. Your knee will only bend as it's supposed to. No problem with pushing off and landing. I recommend it.

To answer your question - yes. This is a fabulous brace. I were them because I snap my wrists when using weight. This keeps my wrist in place with a metal bar that goes from top to bottom - but very comfortable.

You probably COULD, but it wouldn't be a good serve. The brace is very supportive but really not good for using your range of motion - there's not a lot of "give" to it.

I would say yes. I mostly wear mine to work. I'm a CNA so at work I'm on my feet with lots of getting up and down and lifting. I'm not a runner, but it's a really nice brace

The brace is designed to be locked in numerous positions. I bought this as a post op brace to keep it locked straight, then release it to reach the pedals in the car. The brace I received kept unlocking on one side. I contacted the company and they promptly sent another. Unfortunately, I experienced the same issues with the second. That being said, it was the best brace I used (of 3). They all suck.

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

I would think it would be OK to use as long as it's on tight enough. We obviously had our dog's on too loose because she wiggled out of it twice! It should be fine for running because it does seem to be sturdy too. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, let me know!!!!

Yes ! I have water in my knee and the pain and joints are similar to LCL which Locks, Catches and Gives Away I use this brace when I am out walking and in the house. You can also run with it on as well.

You will have the full range of motion. This brace is more for side to side support.

Will be a tight fit into a running shoe even without a sock you will still feel some discomfort. Suggest use a thin sock on the brace foot.

Yes. I like the device; however, don't plan on using it while doing any activity (i.e. running) b/c it fits a little loose.

can you use this doing cardio workout with the excepts of running, or righting a bike?

I guess so. This has been great to use while I run, but it does take some getting used to.

Yes you can place it to the side. However, the device is not great for running. We attempted to use it once and never tried again.

I don't think that this would be a problem. To release the ankle braces one just pushes down on the bar that runs up between the shins. If your back is in such bad shape that bending over with straight legs is a problem, then there might be an issue. For me its been very easy to get in and out safely - I use it twice a day, it takes seconds to get in and out.

Yes. I pulled out the inside cushioning in the shoe and put the brace in and reinserted the cushioning. I take the brace on and off with the shoes, always leaving them in the shoes I play volleyball in.
