Fit Geno Patella Knee Brace for Women Men, 1-Pack Patellar Tendon Support Strap for Arthritis Tendonitis Running Jumpers Knee Hiking Basketball Volleyball Tennis Squats

This knee brace has been a true lifesaver to me. Four weeks ago, I completely snapped my knee backwards while doing some lawn work. If you can imagine a sudden loud pop, your knee literally popping and hyperextending at the same time…and then everything just goes down hill from there. Well, being a person who wants to self diagnose and self treat through the help of Goggle, I had figured out I had one of three injuries…and yes, a torn MCL was my first diagnose and that’s what I have. And yes, I went to the doctor to have a true diagnose of my injury. I cannot always rely 100% on Goggle even though it has not let me down yet! Being very active in my grand babies lives and having a 77 year old mother I take care of, who has time to be down for six to eight weeks with knee surgery? That is right…neither do I! So, after seven attempts at finding a knee brace that would strongly support the top and the bottom of my Patella so I would not rehyperextend my knee which happened three times, I finally found THE brace!!! I wear it at all times except at bedtime. I have not gone without this brace since I purchased it. I truly believe that my tear is going to heal without surgery. I can still feel it trying to pop back, but the brace prevents it, and since it’s preventing it, the pain is not occurring. I am going on vacation in two days…this will be the test on how well this brace preforms for me, but if I have to guess, my Key West vacation is going to be awesome!!! I highly recommend this brace if you have an injured knee. The support, stability, and the range of motion are all checked off with the use of this brace.Update: It is now the new year, and I wanted to give an update on my knee. Key West was WONDERFUL…as always, but I must say that if I had not had my trusty little knee brace, I would have been miserable. I walked everywhere and even the two airports I had to trot across were not issues thanks to my knee brace. My knee seems to be almost healed, but I tweek it every now and then; so, I get out the knee brace to wear for a day or so, and then I am ready to face the world again brace free. 🛳️ Carnival Cruise Spring Break ‘23…Here I come!!!

First, the large is VERY large, Unless you are a giant order the smaller one. Second, for comfort sew closed the openings for the strap that you are not using on the smaller side of the strap. It keeps the strap from collapsing into a ropelike tube that makes the Velcro come louse and start scratching at the back of your knee. It is a big help for walking, kneeling and general knee movement if you have had a knee issue where the tendon that keeps the patella from moving around stretched. I had near constant knee pain for 3 and a half years before I got this. Now I walk with little or no pain.

not much help

I bought this hoping that i could use it as a lighter weight alternative to the brace I currently use. However I cannot in good faith recommend this item and in fact, it's already been disposed of. No matter how I tried, even after the manufacturer sent me an email asking for a review before I even got the item out of the box, that contained a video of how to tighten the brace, I could not get it to tighten up enough to feel like it was providing support. I tried various of the slots provided, but the material between the slots does not provide enough material for the hooks on the other end to grip and the result is no support. Don't waste your money on this one. It's essentially useless. Mine is already on the way to the dump. No need to keep it, its no good.

I liked the design with less bulk but it didn’t stabilize knee and the Velcro kept coming loose. Returned.

I've been dealing with left knee pain, weakness, and instability for most of the last 2 years. I've been advised that a total knee replacement is likely in my foreseeable future. In the meantime, I decided that I needed a solution that would help me get a bit more life out of the existing joint. Upon receiving this brace 6 days ago, I immediately set to using it when doing my Fall yard work. What a difference it made! My lack of "trust" in the joint dissolved after one afternoon of wearing it during yard work. I was very pleasantly surprised at having NO pain during the 4 hours I spent doing the yard work. The weakness and instability that I'd grown to accept as "the way things were" were GONE! Even after finishing the yard work and removing the brace, I experienced none of the "I guess I over-did it" regrets that have followed ANY significant use of the joint. I also have less "joint fatigue" after using the brace, whether going for a walk, doing yard work, or any other activity that would previously challenged me and sent me to the medicine chest for Advil of Tylenol. It has been a breeze to put on and remove and it has totally lived up up to the expectations I had from reviewing the original posted information on Amazon. My best take-away is knowing that I've regained mobility and perhaps even have found a solution that will delay a visit with a surgeon for a total knee replacement. THANK YOU!

I had high hopes for this patella-support knee brace, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out for me. While the materials seemed durable and the concept was promising, the design ultimately fell short in a couple of key areas.First, the brace was uncomfortably bulky behind the knee. The material from the two straps gathered and bunched up whenever I bent my leg, which made it hard to wear for extended periods—especially during activity or exercise. Second, the oval-shaped opening around the kneecap didn’t provide the kind of stable support I was looking for. Instead of staying in place, the brace kept slipping down, no matter how I adjusted it. I’ve had better luck with braces that use a circular patella opening, which seem to offer more consistent alignment and hold.I ended up returning this brace and going back to my old one. While this might work for someone with different needs or anatomy, it just wasn’t the right fit for me.
