I would like to order one however before I do I just want to make sure that this IS a velcro brace and not a sleeve brace. Is it velcro? Thank you

Yes, my name is CECIL Clanton, I ordered a 4x velcro wrap 6 mos. Ago it's the best, it is a wrap, not a sleeve. I would to it again,

It is velcro, but I cannot recommend it. It is made without tapering and consequently slips down no matter how tightly fastened.

I got one and noted I needed a medium... this brace is VERY large.... It will wrap around my thigh almost twice... I measured 6 inches above mid patella and measured a 20 1/2...

Yes, the fitted brace is on the palm side consistent with most hand & wrist braces I've used in the past. My only complaint with Mueller is the length of the velcro'd straps - too short

Sorry. I hated this brace. Really difficult to put on and hook up. I do not use it.

It holds up pretty well. I had to be creative with it after some time and stick it areas other than originally intended ( one oof the other straps)but have been using it for a few months. I ordered 2 more of them - one for home, one for work - as I really like the way it fits and functions. It is ver well made. I tried a few other braces and they were not comfortable or as suppoertive. To me, it's been well worth the money to order the other 2. I had a brace fitted for me at the physical therapists office, but it has a hardened plastic sectopn (heated and formed to me hand/forearm) but it is a bit uncomfotable and "fatiguing" to wear it as it has no give at all except for the elastic in the thumb wrap, so even small movements are always "pushing against" this brace and itis not nearly as comfortable as the Mueller.

It's all elastic or neoprene; no metal. It's good for moderate support. If you need more support, you need a thicker brace, or one with metal bracing.

There is very little movement allowed backwards because of the Velcro support band. I have found this brace to be very beneficial. I particularly notice the pain in the morning if I forget to wear it at night. A very cost effective solution.

Sounds like you need the xl Just a tip, because the knee I needed the brace for was swollen from the post surgery, I measured my other knee for the true knee size. Yes it was a little tight at first but now I can wear it all day no problems. I find though it's more comfortable over a sleeve. As this creates a barrier between your skin and the brace. Hope this helps you out.

The brace is designed to be locked in numerous positions. I bought this as a post op brace to keep it locked straight, then release it to reach the pedals in the car. The brace I received kept unlocking on one side. I contacted the company and they promptly sent another. Unfortunately, I experienced the same issues with the second. That being said, it was the best brace I used (of 3). They all suck.

Ooops---it's Monday; I mistakenly thought you were asking about a different McDavid product. Anyhow, this brace does give excellent support...sorry about the mix up!

Yes. Actually, this brace is designed to be worn on either hand (thumb opening on both sides of the "sleeve").

No Velcro. It's huge and not very flexible except that you can roll it width-wise around an arm or leg. It's heavy so the only way to use it against your head or neck would be to lie down with it. Hope that helps.

The brace is relatively comfortable. Depending on how you position it, it may dig into your abdomen a bit, but that would be true of any brace. I do like the double closure system; it feels like I'm getting more support this way.It looks washable, but to be honest, I haven't tried putting it in the laundry. I wear it about 6-8 hours/day, and not when I'm doing anything too active that would make me sweat into it.

I purchased this brace about 8wks ago. I am sorry I did. The brace looked solid and functional and the reviews were great (of course) so I thought it would be a great way for me to continue my activities while waiting for surgery. The brace was not of the quality I expected. Comes from overseas and the bracing was cheaply made and attached. It certainly isn't of the same quality as DONJOY, but the price alone I guess tells us that. If you can keep the strapping and the cushions in place then the brace will probably work for you. The frame itself is plastic and seems solid enough. I just wish I had not bought it for myself I purchased this brace about 8wks ago. I am sorry I did.

I don't have it on now, but it is in the front and easy to put on and off. It is velcro and It does work, it is just a little uncomfortable to wear for more than 2-3 hours, because it rubs under the arms.

It is only one ankle brace. I had to buy 2 for my daughter because she needed one for each ankle
