Will the adult long be too long after total knee replacement. I'm a 5'6" female?

I am 6'2" and the adult long 3-4 inches past my knee. Easily longer than I need and I have long legs.

I would advise to look at measurements but I would imagine a medium would fit just fine

Yes I believe to will be too long. I am 6' & mine was too long. I did go ahead & use it it and it worked GREAT. I just had to be careful of the excess length, getting in & out of the shower.

As a 5'10" individual I was surprised by the length of the adult long, it went up to my mid-thigh but could be adjusted and brought down to knee level (I was in a below-knee cast). I'd advise to look at the measurements but I imagine a medium would fit you fine. Their design allows for some flexibility when it comes to positioning so keep that in mind

I buy these for my son who is 6'5 and wears a below knee prosthetic. It comes well above his knee and we have never had a problem with water getting in it when he showers.

No you want the cast cover above your knee.Do you need a cast cover for the knee? I had both of mine replaced and took a shower with no cover on my knees!

I too am 5'6" and about 170 and it wraps around my knee with an overlap of about 5 or so inches. I pull it pretty snug for some compression and I sit down with my knee raised up to relax. I had surgery and needed to reduce swelling. If I chose to get up and walk around, it would stay put to run to the kitchen or restroom but I would not plan to walk around a lot with it on. It is not a knee brace type of wrap.

Yes and yes to both questions. It is very comfortable to walk around in. I fasten it kind of tight when moving around indoors and out. In bed at night I loosen it a bit. I would suggest every so many hours take it off and let knee rest. I only wished I had ordered 2. It really helped my knee replacement where my doc had to shave 2 inches of bone off. U will be pleased.

I am 5'8" and there are still six holes above for height adjustment. Best resource is your Physical Therapist, who should be able to tell you if a very tall person needs a "special" walker.

Sorry about your knee. No fun for sure. I am not a doctor however I will share my sons experience. My son was born with a severe club foot that required 3 surgeries to correct at 14 months old. He is now 26 years and has been suffering with arthritis for about 4 years. I originally bought this for myself and he had asked me if I thought it could help him. I was not sure if it would so we gave it a try and it did! He said that it works great for him. I now see that there are pads available on Amazon. I will be buying some here. (The unit wants you to purchase replacements from China. I did not feel comfortable doing that). Best wishes to you.Cheryl Sorry about your knee. No fun for sure.

While I am 5'2", I recently had knee surgery, my doctor suggested that I make it short as possible to force the knee into bending as much as possibe, that produced a really sharp bend (pain) I am sure your wife will be quite comfortable with last setting. It has been instrumental in my recovery.

Yes , because I am 5'6" and my heels are over. My knees are bent at any position. This is all with slightly reclined.

Hi. I ordered a large as I ended up having a full knee replacement. Hence my knee swells alot. My son tried the same compression sleeve and it fell off his knee. He is 6' a Marine and a marathoner. I am not sure if this helps in your decision. I love mine. It is worth every penny. I have also recommended it to several others with knee pain. The beauty of this product is the sleeve for the ice packs. I have also put plain ice in the ziplock bag and put it in the sleeve. Oh what a relief it is.

I'm 6'3 with a 36" inseam...rather long legged, and have no problems with mine. I typically dip beyond a 90deg elbow angle as well and my knees never hit the ground. Even hanging weights from my waist that hang below my knees, I have to drop low for them to hit the floor. You should be fine at your height. It's a solid stand and hard to beat the price.

I am 5' 6" and I know it could extend farther. Have you looked at Spry's website? That might help you too. You could maybe send them a question. I know on their site it says, "knee adjustment 17 to 24 inches". I have rented my walker out to a friend, so I don't have it here to give you exact measurements.

For me, the height is perfect. I have no trouble getting up, and I have knee problems. I am 5 feet 4 inches, so maybe it depends on one's height.

I will be 50 in April, have had 6 knee operations, and LOVE this series of workout BECAUSE of its low impact! I am now doing the Master Series and use knee bands for my tendinitis when it flares up, but they don't prevent me from doing the workouts! He shows how to modify the exercises for folks with knee problems and constantly reminds you to protect your knees! Not knowing what your knee issues are, I would say you would be fine. If in doubt, ask your doctor. Good luck!

According to my PT all females should only order the female version because of the way it's formed. I am 5'3" and it seems to be a little big for me but it WORKS! I have had serious problems with my tailbone after a car accident and this truly relieves my pain. It will take up to 20 minutes the first time you use it so be patient. Hope this helps! Marie

Yes. I am tall and have the legs fully extended to have the chair at its highest setting. I am measuring just over 18" from leg post to leg post. I have been very pleased with this chair. I had total knee replacement so it is not a permanent fixture for me, but it has certainly worked perfectly when needed.

I guess it depends on you, i notice my knees hurt after a while.. I can probably go 1-2 hours

Its more for adults. Yes, someone who is 5'6 will be able to sit and use this comfortably.

I'm 5'6". And it works well for me. The top part you can't adjust. The bottom part you can adjust for the length of your legs. However, that may make the top half heavier then the bottom (the balancing problem). If this is what is happening, and you are falling backwards, it is good, because that is where you will end up and want to. It is bad because it is hard to come back to upright when you are done. You may need to attach some weight to the place you stick your feet in. Maybe use leg weights (the ones with the Velcro straps). This should help. Please let me know if this works. Oh.. and make sure you try this with someone there to help! Good luck Darlene. Martin
