if the pain is on top of the knee cap (where knee meets thigh) should it still be placed on the bottom or the top of the knee?

This strap is designed to fit under the knee cap. It's purpose is to keep the knee cap tracking properly and prevent it from moving laterally. The site of pain may not be when the actual problem is. This band helps with proper form. It doesn't treat the area with pain.

This knee strap is designed to fit under the knee cap where it meets the patellar tendon.

The strap is designed to guide the kneecap so it tracks straight up and down instead of rubbing across the underlying joint, causing wear and tear on the undersurface. THerefore, it is always worn just under the knee with the pad under and centered slightly to the outside of the kneecap. Look up the condition "chondromalacia patella" or "runner's knee". I have worn a variation of this strap with great success since it was invented in the early 1990's.

The chair is adjustable so would would set it so as there was no pressure on your knees. As with all things, your body and length of time on the chair will have an impact on your experience.

Unfortunately it does. Not extremely inconvenient but not my favorite top pad placement either. I know other leg curl/ ext machines have a knee pad that is shaped like a 7 instead of a T so u can slide under it. But overall it is a good machine well worth the money

Decide where you are going to be placing it on your thigh, then measure the thigh at the highest point of coverage, which should be the widest.

Yes, it slides up over your knee and should be snug fitting. The two tabbs at the top are useful for pulling it up

Brace is closed all around the knee joint area. The only opening is the small one at the front to the knee cap.

it is closed in the back of the brace. it is one piece and has to be pulled on over yourfoot. So sorry it will rub the back of your knee.

I think it would if you're talking about the top of your lower leg since it's not long enough to go over the knee. It stretches to fit over my cast and then tightens back up just below my knee.

I really never had a problem with it being uncomfortable on my knee. I had on a cast that "cut" into my leg because there wasn't enough padding at the top edge. I just stuck more padding along the top edge and it was fine. I'm still using it once in awhile now, with the cast off, and it is as comfortable as can be.

It is both. You slip it on, and then velcro it tight above and below the knee.

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!

No, it's better to remove it because your knee will start sweating under it and it becomes uncomfortable..

I also use it with the patch on top and seam down the back of my leg. Works for me!

I just use it where it's painful. For the calf, use a smaller suction cup and apply some oil, then more the cup around to where you feel pain and pause there.

It is good question, i tried some days to know where is the "best place", in fact it depends of your pain.I have two different places one is like photo, and the other a little upper, it depends where the day exactly is my pain, not always is the same place! You decides the better place.

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

No it's putting you knee at risk. The pull can be very strong and stretches really well the entire body. This isn't a good healthy choice in your case. I would look for a sitting position.
