yes, it seems to help her a little bit. She seems to be used to it and when she is really sore she always lift me her leg like to me like she want it on. I have a black lab and bought the largest size and it could be a little bigger. Also You really have to make sure you put it on snug or it will slip down.Hope this helps.

We used for this for our Bulldog who tore her ACL. We had her wear it any time she was remotely active and we had her on a small dosage of pain medication from our vet to keep her comfortable. We bought one for each rear leg as we were told in bulldogs one ACL tear is never far behind the other. We able to use these in lieu of a $2500 per ACL surgery. Couldn't beat that. That may not always be the case. Please check in with your vet if the problem persists.

I bought this for my dogs knee problem and even though it seemed to help him walk better, the vet sai it wasn't te right type of brace for a knee problem.

I don't know how this helps a dog, however my dog can't use one of his back legs, I have noticed, when he wears the brace it helps him use his leg.

I would think so although I have never used it for my knee, it helps a great deal with my shoulder, hip and back.

It is as unnoticeable as a back brace can get. If you wear a tight shirt sure it will be noticeable, but a regular fit shirt or work shirt this brace will not be noticeable.

For me, it gives support--without all the sweating that the other sleeves create. I play basketball with it-- I have arthritis, no longer have knee injury, so can't say that it would relieve pain from that. When I started wearing it, I was recovering from injury, and it seemed to help. I wear it now, for support. It is not a brace---

No, the band stretches to the back of the knee, but the support ridge, about two inches long, is only on the front.

i use it for low back problems. not sure about knee issues. u should ask your doctor if your knees should be elevated.

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

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.

Hi Lucy,I bought this brace for my husband. He measured his knee with a dress maker tape measure, then compared his measurements to the brace measurements posted on the Don Joy site. By the way, my husband LOVES his brace and wears it daily.

There is support with this brace. When I wear it my knee doesn't "pop" like it does when I am not using a brace. I do believe it does give the support needed from a sitting to standing position. If you need a lot of support then a hinged brace might work better to keep your knee stabilized.

Yes it is a good brace for sports. You can adjust how tight it is on your leg depending on your activity. The hinge itself is a bit restricted, but in a good way. It keeps the bending from being too "easy" and helping with keeping the injury stable. I would recommend wearing this for sports.

This is a good support for extra knee support. I use this brace when I plan to do a lot of walking, and I always put cornstarch inside the support.

It depends on your degree of injury. This is definitely a good brace for minor knee issues. If you have issues where you need a brace to limit range of motion or prevent hyper extension this is not the brace. Although there are hinges on this brace they will not prevent hyper extension.

I agree with your question. I don't have the support anymore. The support part of the brace on my knee was good, but there were rather hard rubber band type things at the top and bottom, which really cut into my legs above and below my knee. I would not recommend this brace to anyone. It was not helpful; it was uncomfortable; and didn't seem to have the proper sizing for the top and bottom to go along with the knee support itself.

No, this knee brace is closed all around from top to bottom, except for the knee cap opening. Good for support, but quite confining when one needs to have feet on floor , as in sitting position. And although this design is really good for support, it is hot to wear, especially in hot weather or when very active for long periods of time, and it does chaff a bit even with a hose type sleeve under it. Based on your description for use, probably would not want this particular design. Regards.

It will work,but might b a little snug.it does stretch.I guess it depends on how loose or tight u need it.Overall a good brace though.

I've never used it for the knee, but it might provide some support for the back of the knee.
