It depends on your degree of injury. This is definitely a good brace for minor knee issues. If you have issues where you need a brace to limit range of motion or prevent hyper extension this is not the brace. Although there are hinges on this brace they will not prevent hyper extension.

I don't have a meniscus tear, but I had water on both knees due to irritation with arthritis. The brace really worked wonders for stabilization. I am able to cycle (35 - 40 miles) and walk without pain.

I have had an ACL rebuild and a full knee replacement on my other leg. This will not provide full support for athletic activities in my opinion but worked very well as something to use for everyday comfort while walking, driving, etc. For post ACL running (I played lacrosse), I used a brace similar to those used by NFL players.

Yes it is a good brace for sports. You can adjust how tight it is on your leg depending on your activity. The hinge itself is a bit restricted, but in a good way. It keeps the bending from being too "easy" and helping with keeping the injury stable. I would recommend wearing this for sports.

I actually purchased this brace for my son for skiing. He is very happy with it. Says it's comfortable and works well for him and he goes skiing almost every weekend.Hope this helps!

Yes. but I would definitely use a patch for extra strengh. If it's a tear try and patch inside and out. Good Luck.

Cunningham clamps work well. My husband had prostate cancer an had prostatectomy in April. For him to work he must wear one to stop leaking. Also keigle exercises are best!

I found it a great help for the problem I had. I injured a tendon in my knee where my knee actually tried to move sideways! It would not hold me up. This brace was most helpful as I waited for the healing to take place. And I was careful to be sure I rested it so it would heal. It gave me all the support I needed. I first tried the over-the-counter bulky ones and they caused too much rubbing and irritation. This fit like a glove. I hope this helps you.

Being at the lower area of the spine, the SI joint takes a lot of compression and weight from all the vertebral column above it, hence, it seems logical that a support brace that takes /"supports" some of the weight at and above the braced area, should help reduce stress on the SI joint, thereby, helping to relieve pain. I use combinations of ice to the area, ibuprofen, stretch exercises, and the support brace to manage my back pain. After 35 years of degenerative disc disease, I've learned that no "one tactic" is the solution to my chronic and acute back/rib pains.

You put the main part if the brace on and adjust with Velcro. Then there is another set of elastic bands that you pull over this for more support and it also attaches with Velcro. It provides great support that you can adjust to your comfort.

no problem, good luck to you- my back was a mess during my pregnancy , after I popped Camden out I felt brand new:-) the brace helped me a lot though!

I have a similar condition and I love this brace. It supports but gives good flexibility. Buy one size bigger than what they say though. I will buy again when I need a new one.

I used the universal pad for my son's knee surgery. It comes with velcro so you can tighten it up how you want it.

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

I wear this brace when I sleep sometimes. This brace is a compression brace and it works by reducing swelling in the joint. By reducing the swelling it reduces pain. It does also give support but I would not say thats it's main purpose. With that in mind it does not take much to reduce swelling and should not be tight. I found the longer I wore the brace the better my knees were and felt. If the brace was too tight I would not be comfortable wearing it for extended periods of time. I think a good way to judge the right pressure is.... You should not notice an obvious mark or difference in thickness of your leg above or below the brace where it ends. There should not be a bulge above or below... and even after removing there shouldnt be a noticeable mark. This brace has made a world of difference for me and actually returned my knees to a normal looking knee as the swelling in them from injuries and lymes disease. I am 45 and very athletic. I still cant run anymore but atleast I can move again and hope to run again someday. For now I cycle. Good luck! ps. I you are a guy you will probably go to tight. Men seem to believe if a little is good... Alot must be better. LOL NO NO NO!!!

I had pulled my adductor muscles. Felt like a groin pull. This brace helped tremendously. Good luck.

neoprene. This is not a brace. That is, there is no rigid material in it like metal or hard plastic. It is a stretchy synthetic material that provides support and warmth. In my case, I had tendonitis in the capella tendon, which is just below the knee cap, causing me a great deal of pain. I wore the brace every day for a month. The brace relieved the pain and after a month the tendonitis was pretty much gone.
