Yes, I've used it during my workouts and brace does not feel like it's in the way

I wouldn't say "easily." It's not super cumbersome, but you'd realize you're wearing it for sure. It's not heavy, but it's not light either--bulky. I would not consider this a brace. It's to be used when you need to cool down when you're in pain--and for that it does a good job.

Yes to both questions. The side brace offers some support but is not metal. I find them easy to get on, and they fit me better than braces made for both sexes.

this brace looks good but is useless. extremely difficult to find an effective back brace. all mfg claims are way overblown. good luck

I still sweat when wearing this brace. We bought it to protect our backs when we do yard work. I still consider it a very good investment.

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.

It can be worn under pants. I find it easy to bend and walk around with. I have used a similar Ace brace that is much heavier and bulky. This one is lighter and after you have it on, you really don't notice that you are wearing it.

I wore the brace with my basketball shoes. I didn't experience any discomfort although it does make your food wider so I had to loosen my shoe quiet a bit.

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---

I actually sent it back and got a golds back brace which is softer and fully adjustable, I use it for gold tennis and walking so sure it could be used for running as well

I'm not a gamer but, I do alot of demanding work with my hands. I have no problems wearing the brace during work or play. I actually don't need to wear it constantly because it has helped me that much!

Kim, I don't believe so because I regularly do my exercises at the gym. Also, I am not dependent on the brace, I wear it only to help me heal whenever I hurt my back.

Knee brace is great for strenuous activities ... gym, skiing, etc. It does restrict some knee movement but not too much of a problem. My opinion ... for runners, this brace will be a burden. It will throw the runner off balance for one; secondly, the brace will have the nasty habit of sliding down from the knee. I know the second problem firshand for it affected my skiing. The runners up and down action will definitely shift the brace requiring frequent adjustments upward. You can always tighten the velcro straps super tight but that will restrict blood flow and eventually cramping. Only my opinion! And yes, as you said, it is rock solid and its flexibility is somewhat restrictive.

Hi John,I am not sure if this brace can be use for jogging. I got the brace for my father, without a brace he cannot walk, he will have to be on a wheelchair. He still has not used it since I still have it with me, but he has used other brace and the work fine for jogging. I hope this helps you.

It is a bit difficult to use without the brace with the stronger bands. The bands do break in and get easier to use. If you plan on using the stronger bands I do recommend the wrist brace. The wrist brace is quite cheap and we'll worth it when using the stronger bands.

Yes. My wife loves it. She says it feels more like a support wrap than a brace.

Sorry..I find the comfort cool to be more supportive than the brace about which you are asking. I wear the longer Mueller thumb/wrist brace with a more stable support for sleeping. Good luck.
