NEENCA Hinged Knee Brace, Adjustable Knee Immobilizer with Side Stabilizers of Locking Dials, Medical ROM Knee Brace Support for Knee Pain, Arthritis, ACL,PCL, Meniscus Tear, Injuries/Post OP Recovery

I purchased this brace after I tore some ligaments in my knee and a friend who used this brace recommended it. It is tricky to set up and it comes with NO directions to explain how to make the adjustments work for your situation. Accordingly, I had my physical therapist make the proper adjustments for my knee problem and it works extremely well. The brace keeps my knee stable when walking and the brace is comfortable to wear. I recommend this brace for unstable knees, but get a professional to make the adjustments for you.

Lo pedi para mi suegra y en realidad le sirvió bastante

I broke a kneecap and fracture an ankle, and the surgeon required a skeletal type external brace that when setup and on my leg limits my movement to about one percent from zero for both extension and flexion movement. The knee needs to be at zero but a small amount (approx. one percent is acceptable since absolute zero is basically impossible without a cast, However, that is while walking.)Sleeping or laying down is another matter and the skeletal type brace is next to impossible to sleep with. Therefore this type of brace was recommended for SLEEPING only.Once setup, which takes forever by one person but is doable. That's just for the fitting of the two pieces to the knee/legs. For those pins? They are as slippery as ice and getting the two extension pins into the 0 locations are a lot harder than shown in the video; it took sometime but finally getting them snapped down is possible. The bottom pins on one unit would not snap all the way down as the other pins, but did work to keep the metal from moving and the top had the room to snap into place. (Would have loved for the top heads of the pins to have had two flat spots opposite of each other to allow for a small narrow needle nose pliers to latch on to for insertion vs. fat human fingers.)With all settings to zero I'm guessing due to the neoprene the unit allows about 5-10 percent movement. This is acceptable since the knee has no weight applied while laying in bed and stop any excessive movement.Wearing for just one night, my knee felt a lot better when getting up vs. the previous nights without a brace and the movement of the knee during the night.It is quite comfortable to wear, but even just standing it does not want to remain in place that well, wanting to slide down, so not sure how this would be used for walking unless the two straps are tightened to the point it could affect blood flow. However, I have not tried walking with it and that is only a guess.If it helps get this kneecap healed it is well worth the price.

The only issue I have with the two of these I have is that the material comes unsticthed at the ends of the support brace on the side and pushes on my leg and skin. Other than that it's been good. Not sure if I'll get something else that doesn't have this issue or not

I just received this brace today. At first, it was a little difficult to put on and adjust, you’ll have to play around with it to figure out how it works, as there are no instructions. I’m 5’6 about 140 lbs and the brace is a little big but still doable. Overall, it felt pretty sturdy at first. The reason for the 1 star is because the cover for the adjustable part of the hinges falls off very easily, leaving the adjustable pins exposed and can easily pop out of place which makes this brace unsafe.
