NEENCA Professional Knee Brace, Hinged Knee Support for Women & Men Relief

***PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS.++* IF YOUR MEASUREMENTS ARE FALLING ON THE LINE OR CLOSE TO IT, YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO SIZE UP.*** MY MEASUREMENTS FELL JUST UNDER THE UPPERMOST LIMIT OF A SIZE, AND I WENT TO THE NEX SIZE. THATS WHAT I DID AND IT FIT PERFECTLY! I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU SIZE UP. AS A PHYSICAL THERAPIST I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BRACE AND AM RECOMMENDING IT TO MY PATIENTS. PLS CONTINUE TO READ MY REVIEW. FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE NOT COVERED FOR A CUSTOM BRACE, BUT NEED ONE, I SPECIFICALLY RECOMMEND THIS BRACE. IT DOES WHAT IT SAYS IS SAYS IT IS GOING TO DO , AND BECAUSE I FEEL THAT IT IS NEARLY LIKE A CUSTOM BRACE, AND IT HELPS THOSE WHO CAN NOT AFFORD A PROFESSIONALLY FITTED KNEE BRACE. OFF THE TOP: THIS IS A **PROFESSIONAL VELCRO** AND IS INCREDIBLY STRONG. IT WILL NOT COME OPEN OR LOOSEN OPEN WHILE YOU ARE WEARING IT. THIS TYPE OF VELCRO IS PROFESSIONAL GRADE. AND IT IS USED ON CUSTOM BRACES. IT WILL NOT COME UNDONE UNTIL YOU ARE PULLING ON IT FOR REMOVAL OF THE BRACE. IT WILL NOT QUIT OR LOOSEN ON YOU AS YOU SEE IN CHEAPER BRACES. ASIDE FROM THE VELVRO, THIS BRACE IS NOT VERY BULKY AS YOU WOULD FIND IN A CHEAPER BRACE. THE LACK OF BULKINESS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT OFFERS YOU THE FREEDOM, OR OPTIONS.TO WEAR It UNDER/OVER, DENIM JEANS, SWEATPANTS AND MORE. I hAVE WORN IT UNDER MY JEANS BEFORE SO YOU HAVE SOME INDEPENDENCE ON HOW YOU PREFER TO APPLY IT. +++THE DESIGN IS MADE TO HELP WITH A VARIETY OF DIAGNOSES***. IT IS VERY COMFORTABLE WHILE I USE IT. AT THE SAME TIME, IT SUPPORTS YOUR KNEE. THE TWO SIDE UPRIGHTS PROTECTS (the uprites are sides of the knee metal pieces) THERE ARE LIGAMENTS ON EITHER SIDE OF YOUR KNEE PROTECTING THOSE LIGAMENTS THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE THE ACL for instance (ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT) THIS BRACE IS MADE TO PROTECT KNEE LIGAMENTS AND THE KNEE AS A WHOLE. THE OPENING AT THE KNEE HELPS WITH PATELLAR TENDONITIS AND DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE NATURAL TRACKING OF THE KNEE CAP. WHEN YOU FLEX OR EXTEND, THE KNEE CAP DOES NOT MOVE UP AND DOWN IN A STRAIGHT LINE. RATHER, IT FOLLOWS AN “S” CURVE. THIS BRACE DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH PATELLAR TRACKING. THIS BRACE WILL HELP WITH PATELLAR TENDONITIS, BUT TO BE PERFECTLY TRANSLUCENT, WITH YOU IF YOU HAVE TENDONITIS, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BRACE…. THERE IS A VERY SMALL BRACE MADE FOR PATELLAR TENDONITIS YOU PLACE ON THE TENDON AND VELCRO IT CLOSED. THIS BRACE WILL DIMINISH YOUR PAIN BECAUSE IT Is DESIGNED TO AFFECT ALL THE LIGAMENTS AND THE KNEE AS WHOLE. . IT DIMINISHES PAIN FOR A VARIETY REASONS. CAN BE ALSO BE USED FOR ACL, PCL, AND MENISCUS PROBLEMS/TEARS. THAT COVERS A LOT. THE DESIGN IS MEANT TO SUPPORT YOU WHEN YOU AMBULATE, AND THE METAL UPRIGHTS DONT INTERFERE WITH THAT. STRUCTURALLY, THIS BRACE IS EXCELLENT. IT CAN BE WORN EVEN WHEN SITTING IN A CHAIR OR WHEELCHAIR. I WOULD RECOMMEND CONSULTING YOUR MD OR PT. THE BEST PART IS THAT THE PRICE IS EXTREMELY REASONABLE FOR THE BRACE AND SUPPORT IT GIVES ALLOWING YOU TO HEAL. MANY INSURANCES DO NOT COVER/OR ONLY PARTIALLY COVERS THE COST OF A CUSTOM MADE BRACE. THIS BRACE IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD A CUSTOM MADE BRACE (THEY ARE QUITE PRICEY) THIS IS WHY I AM GRATEFUL FOR NEEDING THIS BRACE OTHERWISE I WOULD NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BRACE THAT I PRAY CAN HELP SOME PEOPLE/PATIENTS OUT MONEY WISE. AS FOR ME, MY AMBULATION HAS IMPROVED CONSIDERABLY. IT IS ALL DUE TO THIS BRACE. I ORDERED 5 OF THESE FOR PATIENTS WHO CANT GET A CUSTOM BRACE AND DONT USE THE INTERNET. I WENT INTO THE MEDICAL FIELD TO HELP OTHERS. JUST TO NOTE, I TRIED THREE OTHER BRACES BEFORE I FOUND THIS ONE. OTHER ONES WERE HORRIBLE, THEY WERE ILL FITTED, AND DID NOT DO WHAT THEY SHOULD DO ACCORDING TO THE DESCRIPTIONS. THEN I FOUND THIS. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT, AND I WILL RECOMMEND IT TO THE APPROPRIATE PATIENTS, AND FOR THOSE WHO’S INSURANCE WILL NOT COVER A CUSTOM BRACE THAT THEY CANNOT AFFORD. I TRULY FEEL THIS IS AS CLOSE TO A CUSTOM BRACE THAT YOU WILL FIND. THE DESIGN, THE SOLID CONSTRUCTIONS, THE PROFESSIONAL VELCRO, THE BRACE IS NOT BULKY, HELPS ALL ASPECTS OF THE KNEE, IS SUPER CHEAP COMPARED TO THE COST OF A CUSTOM BRACE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT AND GIVE IT AN A+ IT IS NOT PERFECT, BUT IT ABSOLUTELY DOES WHAT IT SAYS ACCORDING TO THE PRODUCTS DESCRIPTION AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS BRACE WILL HELP YOUR KNEE OR KNEES CONSIDERABLY!!! ****BUY WITH CONFIDENCE AND WITHOUT RESERVATION!!!**** …..SIDE NOTE: REMEMBER TO ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PT OR YOUR MD IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY BEING TREATED, FOR SAFEY’S SAKE AND SO IT CAN BE ASSESSED ON YOU. I ABSOLUTELY GIVE IT A FIVE STAR RATING, WHICH IT DESERVES. A+++

I have spent several years searching for a high-quality, supportive knee brace following a serious accident that resulted in a titanium rod in my leg, along with ongoing knee swelling and pain. During that time, I have tried numerous brands and styles, but this knee brace has exceeded my expectations. The construction is excellent—durable, well-designed, and highly supportive—while still being easy to put on and adjust. Upon wearing it, I noticed immediate relief, including reduced swelling, discomfort and improved stability. Unlike other braces I have used, it stays securely in place without slipping or twisting, even during extended wear. I was also particularly impressed with the inclusive sizing options, which made it easy to find a precise and comfortable fit. Overall, this product delivers both quality and performance, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking reliable knee support.

My experience with this brace is mixed. On one hand, it’s made really well. The velcro holds wherever you place it and the use is easy to figure out. On the other hand, I do agree with the reviews of plus size individuals in that when you get a size that fits your upper thigh, it’s loose around the knee area. I’m 5’2, 285lbs so I got a 4X to start with. Thought it was too big so then got a 3X. Wore that one for a few days, but it slid down a lot because the upper thigh area wasn’t big enough even if I adjusted the straps loosely. Today am trying out the 4X again, thinking that maybe the looseness around the knee won’t affect the overall effectiveness of the brace. I can say that the customer service is amazing—they didn’t make me return the 4X and refunded me the $$ for it, allowing me to get the 3X. It does alleviate most of my osteoarthritis pain when it’s on my leg properly, so considering all the choices in this same price range, I feel this is probably the best one. Gave only 4 stars because of the obvious need for redesign in sizing from top of thigh to bottom of brace, but recognizing we all are different sizes. Hope this helps:)

I have a 30yr old ACL injury coming back to haunt me as I decided to pick up pickleball. My brain still thinks I'm 20 but my bones insist otherwise. I tried several of the normal elastic braces but they did near nothing for support. I remembered the post-surgery brace I'd had after my acl and how it had metal stabilizer bars and hinges. after a short search I found the neenca brand. Its a bit more than the others butnis worth funding. It doesnt completely eliminate my concerns but certainly mitigates a lot of stress, mental and physical. It is a well made product with large strong staps. The metal hinges are well built, with no plastic gears but are behind a plastic cover. It's comfortable and when I'm playing I dont notice it. If you have a problem with hyper extension this brace may not serve your need. It does allow full movement and is designed to provide lateral support. That said, a clever person could probably figure a way to restrict the gear movement. Also, order a size bigger than the fitment chart. I ordered a large, I'm 5-11 200lb and I dont have fat knees. It fits more tight than loose. If this ever does wear out, I'll be ordering another.

I love this brace. In addition to having bone-on-bone Osteoarthritis, I also tore the Meniscus on my left knee. I have a different, more complex brace to wear when I go outside (I use a wheelchair mostly), but when I am home, I prefer a less cumbersome brace. Most braces do not support my knee well enough to control the pain. I finally bought this knee brace, and I now I have a winner. Throughout the day, I may sit in a regular chair or I may have to recline on my bed, because of disability. This brace allows me to keep it on even when I am reclining on the bed. It is comfortable no matter where I sit or if I am doing "furniture walking" in the apartment. Other braces did not have enough support, but this one has a lot of support. With other braces, the velcro began to NOT stick much too quickly. This brace seems to have medical-grade velcro, which is much stronger and usually lasts much longer than retail-grade aka sports-grade velcro. The only thing with the stronger velcro is that it takes a while to learn how to use it without irritating the skin on your fingers. It helps to not pull at it with the tips of the fingers. I've learned to sort of use the sides of my fingers, and that lessens the strain on my fingers. I like that there is a double strap on the top and on the bottom, allowing me to tighten (or loosen) the brace as much as I need. My only caution is choosing the size. I measured my thigh as they said to do, and my measurement was right at the border of 2 different sizes; the max on one size and the least on the next size. Since I read one reviewer say the brace was too big for her, I decided to buy the smaller of the 2 choices. Well, it turned out to be way too small for me, not even getting over my knee! I finally reached out to the seller, even though I thought I had waited too long (busy with treatments for breast cancer & other health issues), It was the last date they allowed for returns, and it was late at night. I decided to try anyway. I sent them an email, explaining the situation. The next morning, A Saturday, they responded & said they would be sending out the larger size immediately, which they did. I had it Monday morning! The larger brace fit me fine. I wanted to wait a while before doing a review. I wanted to have time to use the brace for a while, to see how good a job it does and to see if the fabric & side hinges felt sturdy. After wearing it every day for a few weeks, I have to say I am very satisfied with it. It does not irritate my skin at any point, & the hinges feel strong and are supportive. The knee cushion is very protective, too.

Size up! With two people tugging on it,we still could not get into place. I was at the small end of large so according to direction I got the large. Maybe a good brace but worthless to me if i cant get it on.

This knee brace fits comfortably and inside my pants so it is unseen. The brace adds stability and support while also helping reduce pain on the inner joint of the knee. Hand washable.

I've worn these for 5 days skiing. they stay in place, which was a problem with other brands. It was recommended that you size up 1 size which I did. I ware mine over long johns, they were snug but not tight. Very comfortable and flexible with the hinge system. They are a little bulky so if you ware something over them it will need extra room, usually not a problem with ski ware. My knees felt good after skiing, I think they help take pressure off the knee joint. I would definitely recommend these to friends. Update, I've worn them for more than 15 days skiing and can say without a doubt they help keep pressure off the knee joint and I didn't experience any joint discomfort after skiing.
