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.

The compression is very strong, but if you are going to wear this brace on a regular basis, I'd get two. Our daughter is a soccer player who had broken each of her ankles playing other sports in school. We've tried every lace up brace on the market-this brace was the best one-hands down. She had more natural mobility and less foot pain. For me, it was a 5 star purchase! Hope this helps!

This brace has adjustable "stops" and you can place them where you need them. The fellow I ordered this for has used them for years and he is rather rough on his equipment. We have been very happy with it.

One does have to be careful with any sholder brace. My wife got a "frozen sholder" and had to get xrays and visit an orthopedic surgeon to cure that. Sholder braces are not safe.

Basically waterproof. It fastens at calf with Velcro, which will dry quickly. The majority of the brace is plastic so you will need a sock under it.

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

I have an ACL tear with meniscus injury post recon, but my knee still buckles from time to time with certain activities. I bought this guard for my recent trekking trip to Nepal and my knee held up pretty well with it.. Up till the day of the descent of 4hrs, when the knee gave way. The swelling was minimal though and I recovered in abt 2days. Not too bad, so think the guard must have helped.

I'm very sensitive to circulation issues, and the Bauefeind Genutrain is fantastic in that regard if you size it per their instructions. I wear it to play pretty competitive table tennis with a lot of pivoting and footwork , and frankly, I forget I have it on. I have worn a number of smaller knee bands that are far more restrictive. I highly recommend the Genutrain if restricted circulation is a concern.

I have a sleeve and I teach so it goes from my wrist over my bicept. Drifit material. Well worth the money by far. Way cheaper than any name brands I found.

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

Leah, i don't think these gloves would help you. i bought them so my brother could continue to have movement and warmth at the same time. i would probably go for a brace. hope that helps.

I bought this brace and cant even wear it . It is made of cheap pvc and in my opinion would break easily. It was a waste of money for me and my injuries were also sport related. It provides no support or stabilization. Hope this helps u

Don't know how they compare but these are good ankle braces. Way better than their standard lace up version. They are quicker to put on and you can adjust them much easier for a snug but comfortable fit. I started getting sprained ankles playing basketball and these, along with doing some balance work on a bosu ball did wonders.

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.

nope. This brace is a game changer. I used it while playing hockey never an issue

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.

Hemostatic gauze seems to offer the best solution for areas that need a more flexible covering. Try BloodStop or something similar.
