is this product good for a weak knee?

It could be if one can keep it from rolling down at the top. And finding a good fit can be tricky. I use a Mueller knee brace mostly for my knee which provides excellent support. Have also used an ACE knee brace, but prefer the Mueller. Good luck.

Absolutely! I hurt my knee playing soccer and now I wear it everyday for added support. It isolates the joint just like more expensive models and

Absolutely! I hurt my knee last year playing soccer and now wear it everyday for added support. The compression isolates the joint for more stability. I even used this winter and was able to go skiing!

A lot of people swear by it, so try it! I would also recommend a few exercises too (I found some quick and effective ones in Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis), pills and patches won't do much to make your knees more flexible or stronger. Good luck!

I didn't realize there were five different "kneedits". However, when making my decision, i tried a few on at a sporting goods store, watched and read a bunch of online content, and understood the mechanics of my personal knee issue. None of them are going to work like magic, but i will say this: after wearing mine during leg workouts, stopping because i didnt feel they were as effective as described, experiencing the pain come back, wearing them again and realizing that they do work (just not 100%), i decided they are a decent product.

No. I have been wearing it for support and my knee does hurt less when I walk around but it will not make your knee stronger. If you want to strengthen the muscles around your knee you will have to turn to careful exercise. Perhaps a couple of visits to a physical therapist to show you how to isolate the muscles and strengthen them without causing further damage.

I can not see why it wouldn't work after knee replacement. I am not a medical doctor but I do enjoy having this available for traveling and in situations where furniture is extremely low. I do recommend that you be careful when first using it as it may move faster then you expect.

A friend of ours used one of these when he had his knee surgery and swears it's the reason for his good results. Good luck!

This is a lite support for the knee. I would advise you to seek your Orthopedist's views on the proper knee support.

I think this would be perfect for a knee. It holds the cold for a long time. The folds/seams should allow the ice pack to cling to your knee well. Have a small towel to put between your knee and the icepack. Good luck and have a quick recovery.

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

You could lower it knee level I believe. I have never put it that low but I think you could.

It was not big enough for my knee and was useless for my knee. I weigh 200. Might work for smaller size weight.

The brace will make your knee stronger in the sense that it will support it - which is a very good thing when it comes to knee arthritis. It won't however, make your knee muscles any stronger - for that you'll need knee exercises.

Yes you can, but I would only buy this if you are wearing some other knee brace on top of it, since this one will roll/slide down your thigh within a few minutes. I got this as a replacement for a bulkier knee brace but end up using it under the of one since that one keeps this up, but this one feels more form fitting.

Yes. I stabilizes my knee allowing me to put some pressure on it. Definitely recommend.

Better ask a physical therapist because I do not know how it would help knees being hard and and unbendable. I use it to sit upon and when I do exercises where I put my feet upon it. It is great for standing upon and balancing.

Sorry, unable to answer. I do know that it has greatly stabilized my knee during periods where it starts to hurt. Normally only have to wear for a day or two at a time. Not constantly.

I don't see why not. It's not going to effect the support at all in my opinion. I too have contemplated as I like the design inside. It is a great knee support. Hope that helps.
