Does this fit the upper arm? Post knee replacement doing 6+ hours of PT, comfortable for lengthy use? Sizing?

The package comes with two bands, one for smaller arms and one for larger. I am on the small side, and the smaller band fits well on my upper arm. My husband wears the larger one on his upper arm. Have not worn it longer than about 1.5 hours, but I find it comfortable for that amount of time.

Yes, this band fits and can be adjusted as tight or lose as you need on your upper arm. It also comes with a small band if you wanted to use on your wrist area. I find it comfortable and it stays in place without cutting off circulation. I run with it in. Love this product!

Yes, it fits the upper arm. However, I found I had to tighten it so much that I didn't like using it on my arm while exercising my arm. I love the rubber protective sleeve though. I use it in my pocket in the protective sleeve while I exercise and thread the wires inside my shirt.

Comes with two sizes, small and large. I use the large and have plenty of room. I wear it at least 5 hours a day and have no problem. The company says they will provide a free x-large on request. I even wear it on top of a sweat shirt.

It will fit the upper arm, depending how large or small the upper arms are. There are two band sizes included one regular and a smaller size as well. The armband is elastic and velcro. I'm not sure how the arm would feel after six hours, but you have the ability to control the strap tightness easily with the elastic and velcro.

Yes it does. It fits great. My arm is 10" above the elbow. It fits with LOTS of room to spare. The band is 12" BEFORE it stretches. It overlaps to Velcro. I have really liked it!!!

I have no idea. I bought this because it fits my muscular upper arm well. It certainly is not big enough to go around my thigh. I hope you get a good answer.

The cuff is adjustable but I can't answer the question without knowing how large the arm is above the elbow. It appears to have lots of room and uses Velcro for the adjustments.

I have large hands so I don't think the fit is an issue. I think the swelling, though, would make use of the Yoga Hands problematic. If you have RA and the swelling is in your knuckles, my opinion would be that this product isn't for you. If you have basal thumb arthritis, and the swelling is at the base of the thumb, that wouldn't interfere with the Yoga Hands.

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 forget the messurement of my upper arm, I'm thinking it was about 12 in and I got the Small and it's perfect - a good tight fit but not too tight. And I love the band - it DOES NOT slip down at all like my other did. A large should be fine for you.

The measurements shown in the answers (below) are accurate. However, measure ABOVE your knee to the approximate place the top of the brace will sit, then order accordingly. I have the XL and it is a good fit. Secure, but not tight, and will not slip down. If that portion of your leg is larger, and you only buy the size that corresponds to the measurement around your actual knee, it will be way too tight and very uncomfortable.

my knee measures 15 1/2" and a size L knee brace fits comfortably. I can wear the brace all day with no discomfort. Even after washing the brace, it stays true to size.

I think that is what I measured as well Dorene... I went with the medium with this. You want it to be tight not overly so though. It's supposed to sort of keep the knee in the proper position and that it does. The only way to completely do that would be a neoprene sleeve but I have not worn that for quite sometime. Only right after miniscus surgery and I wanted to play tennis 6 weeks after surgery. Then I needed the sleeve. But after about 2 months of wearing the sleeve I went to this and it keeps the knee very steady and I have had no more issues with my knee. Hope that this helps. I think that you can always send this item back if it does not work for you but i did go with the medium not the large. I think that is what I measured as well Dorene...

I've been using this brace a couple of times a week for a few months now, for tennis and racquetball. My knee is also 16" and I got a Large, which is what I recommend for you. It runs tight, in my opinion, and it hasn't stretched noticeably yet.

My knee is of similar size and have fairly thick thighs as well as large calves. This sleeve is very comfortable as far as size and I have never had an issue of slipping. My knee brace is the same size and you just need to make sure it is secured as it should be. Too loose and you lose your support anyway.

It fits my 6'4" sons cast that goes from his toes to his knee. You would want to be in a rigid cast though..not a soft post surgical one though. Otherwise it would hurt to put on.

Yes this is what I use it for at my job. If you have a big arm it might be tight but fits perfectly well.

Good luck getting a size that fits. The measuring charts from Mueller are not accurate. My knee measures 17 inches. I am 6' 1" with an average build. A Large will not even close at the back. Because of this it has been a real pain in the neck ordering/returning/reordering at my expense. The brace is good for the price but Mueller provide bad measuring criteria. Better that you find a store that carries the brace and try it on before buying.

My upper arms measure 17.5 inches and the band included fit fine. I bought one from their website for a cuter design and bought the large one and that one would fit an arm twice as big as mine. Hope that helps!

It does fit into upper arms though not look perfectly. The pads are adjustable.

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.
