Actesso Elastic Knee Support - Lightweight Compression Sleeve, Breathable Knee Brace for Joint Pain, Arthritis, Injury Recovery, Sports, Running, Fitness, Left & Right, Men & Women (Beige, Medium)

I've suffered from arthritis since childhood and I've probably tried every sort of knee support there is. Let's face it they aren't the most glamorous of items. I bought these ones, in black, and think they have a certain sleek sportiness about them which I think is about as close as I'll ever get. They are nicely shaped over the knee cap and behind the knee in order to facilitate movement and to prevent soreness behind the knee, which they do very well. I like this particular support because of the sizing - it's well worth measuring your leg above the knee and buying the correct size because I discovered that my knee's bigger than it looks, and it made a huge difference to purchase the correct size second time around. I find that the supports minimise pain and have prevented me from injuring myself due to having weakened knee joints. I do give my knees and legs a good massage after taking them off to keep the blood supply healthy. These supports wash well in warm water and liquid detergent; I find it best to dry them naturally which does take a day or two, and I have now ordered a second set to facillitate this. Three months in, with daily use and careful washing they are still good as new at present. For that reason, I think they are good value especially currently when they're available for the summer sale offer. For me, if I have to wear knee supports these are top notch.

I had a flare up of a cartilege issue with one knee, and this helps me feel more supported when I exercise. It is also useful at night, when one can move around and get knee pain. I teach yoga, and knowing I am wearing it gives me some confidence. Not attractive, the flesh pink is pretty ghastly - black or grey would look less like a surgical stocking. I bought medium and might have gone smaller if there's been a choice.

Am delighted to have finally found the best support for my knee, this after trying and spending money on acquiring other brands which have never fitted properly and were very uncomfortable especially during the warm weather.

I didn't realize different sizes too tight

This is a good knee support, points of note are: (1) Good pain relief. (2) Good support. It provides good compression and stabilisation of the knee joint area. (3) Strong elastic fabric. It has stronger elasticity compared with Tubigrip but still maintains flexibility of movement [e.g. bending at the knee joint]. (4) Good quality fabric that is robust, hard wearing and non-itchy. There is a good finish to the fabric at both ends [no loose threads / frayed ends malting as I have found with Tubigrip]. (5) Warmth. This is perhaps helped by the thick fabric. (6) Shape. It is ever so slightly tapered, being larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, mimicking the contours of the knee anatomy and thereby facilitating a better fit. (7) Comfortable. (8) Sleeve, pull on design. One uses a similar action as putting socks on but you pull the fabric up to the knee. This could potentially be a drawback for the elderly with difficulty of movement. (9) Reasonable price. In my opinion, it represents value for money. (10) Sizing. I bought a size SMALL and un-stretched it measures approximately: - LENGTH = 22cm; - WIDTH - top = 13.5cm [27cm all around]; - WIDTH middle = 12.25cm [24.5cm all round]; - WIDTH bottom = 11cm [22cm all around]. My knee measures around 33cm [just above the kneecap area, at the widest part] and I found this to be a good fit. For comparison, the item description gives the following measurements: Small = 33 - 36. Medium = 36 - 39. Large = 39 - 42 OVERALL: a good knee support that provides good pain relief, stabilisation of the joint area, is comfortable, made from good quality fabric and I feel represents value for money. Recommended. Side Note: Some reviews state their knee support bunches up [potentially too small] or slides down [potentially too big]. I am wondering if they have the wrong size, especially if it is sliding down! Personally, I have not encountered this problem.

This is the C in RICE... rest, ice, compression and elevation. Bought this knee support on the strength of the other reviews and so glad I did after twisting my knee. I didn't want to get one of those knee supports with straps and a hole over your knee cap as they're uncomfortable with limited give. Pleasantly surprised at the firmness of the support. I'm a 41cm so got the Large which goes up to 42cm. The support is firm but just right, not too tight and enough give to walk around with. It's a close knit, and very soft like velvet including the edges and doesn't cut in. I would recommend this knee support as it's excellent quality and well worth the money. Actually starting to feel a bit better with less pain, bought the fleshy colour which is like a deeper tan colour #happydays

I do not think this can be described as lightweight. I found it very stiff and strong and difficult to put on. The bottom end dug into my leg and I had to take it off at once. I think the description should be very firm instead of lightweight. I would be returning it but unfortunately the cellophane packet it came in ripped on opening

Angenehmes Material, das gut sitzt und einen stabilisierenden Effekt hat. Die Bandage sitz allerdings recht stramm

Ottimo

S' adapte nickel sur mon genou Pris une taille au dessus par rapport au tableau préconisé Élastique tient bien ne glisse pas aucun souci après le port d une journée A voir dans le temps Je recommande cet article

Lo positivo, si necesitas compresión en la zona, la proporciona. Sujeta muy bien y, caminando, no se mueve de su posición ni se enrolla. Permite hacer vida normal. No es incómoda, una vez te adaptas a ella. Me ha permitido mejorar la rehabilitación, he podido salir a andar con toda normalidad, incluso con velocidad, cosa que con el vendaje médico era imposible porque no sujetaba igual y me daba la sensación de que se me iba a abrir la cicatriz. Estoy satisfecho. Compré la talla M, aunque la mía es la L, porque necesitaba un punto más de compresión para esa zona, pero con la L hubiera ido más cómodo. Recomiendo. Edito tras tres días: Confirmo la calidad y la buena sujeción, pero la compresión, tras 48h de uso continuado, se hace excesiva para mi pierna, provocando inflamación. He tenido que descansar de ella y he comprado ahora la talla L, que supongo lo solucionará. Esta talla M, mejor para uso esporádico, no de continuo.

Gekocht om tijdens wandelingen paraat te hebben voor het geval dat een knie wat ondersteuning behoeft.
