Hello. I have a question about the product. Is it for use when I play sports? Or it is used for the recovery of an injury while not playing sports?

This product can be used when you play sports, It gives added support to the ankle that is not provided by a pair of shoes.

I think I just answered my own question... in the technical details it says:"Used for multiple sports, such as cycling, cross- country skiing, and windsurfing"

I use it once during golf. You probably need to adjust it couple of times. Depends on your knee condition, I don't think this works for long hours. You may need the more advance knee guard.

Had mine for several months and used it in-frequently til I sprained my ankle. Been wearing it every day for about three weeks and even with frequent laundering it seems to be holding up well and working great. Keeps the swelling down along with supporting the ankle and reducing the pain. I recommend it.

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!

No. It is good for a short while. I used it for a few weeks and started having terrible knee pain. I haven't used it much since. :(

The product provides a cushion for the repeated heading in a typical soccer session or game. I trust that you have medical clearance to proceed. Always monitor how your child feels after playing. Confidence in heading the ball is a part of it and the product hopefully will also help restore that.

I'm not sure this will be the right product for you. It does provide compression it is minimal the closer to the wrist you go. I bought this for my son who plays football and uses it to prevent turf burn. If you needed compression higher like elbow area I would say yes.

I have a girl with recurring ankle sprains who is very active in sports. Since she started wearing the brace during sports.....no more ankle sprains. She plays soccer , basketball, and softball, so there are a lot quick movements and pivots. Very happy. I also recommended this brace to a friend whose son had a prior ankle fracture and she has had similar success. Hope this helps.

Ha! I would say it very well could be used as an arm exercise if you need to work on motion post-surgery. It absolutely should not be used if the purpose is for strength training of any kind. This has a very fluid motion.

Dear Jsbjt: I use it to play voleyball and if it hold the foot at a 90 degree angle, I think it'll be difficult to do the normal movements during the game. For sports you can be sure it's works great. Best regards. Marco

I don't know. You might want to ask your pharmasist. A chemist ( or pharmasist?) recommended it for a source of energy before any intensive physical activities, such as football, tennis, etc, to help one maintain muscle strength and energy level (something about preventing from overusing muscles to produce energy required for one's prolonged activity). I found it helpful when I took an hour before a tennis match. If you wish to contact him, his name is Eric Holgate. His website is http://duramedmedical.com.

I use it as much as possible, it helps but is not a cure. I use it in the kitchen, the car, and take it along for bridge games. I have had it for 6 months. I would recommend it. I had painful sciatica nerve issues.

I've used it for all, Joint,muscle and headache type pains, and it has worked rather well for me. I use it full strenghth,some need to dillute it w/ carrier oil.

Personally I used the brace for support while playing basketball. It was relatively comfortable and gave me a lot of side-to-side stability while still allowing full forward and backward movements.

I use it mostly sitting up. I really think it will do the trick for you. Plus, when you can recline it is very comfortable. Hope this helps and good luck with healing process.

I use mine for racquetball after a torn rotator cuff. I like it. It seems to give the needed support.
