I recently got an almost identical brace, but different brand and color. My knee has bone on bone and much pain and "crunching" when standing, and hard to walk. After making slight adjustments a few times as you show here, I can now stand and immediately walk, no pain or crunching. These braces are such a relief for pain. Thanks for your video and showing how they work.

@permanentwave 3 месяца назад

Me too after an injury years ago it was now similar intolerable pain I asked the orthopedic Dr to order one but he gave me one of those useless braces, tried one of these unloader /ROM braces and immediate relief unbelievable the Dr visit was 600.00 and did nothing at all to help me, my husband also knows a lot about muscles and massaged the tight muscles and that also helped a lot

Ruptured my ACL and tore both meniscus back in Sept. 23' in a foot pursuit working in Law Enforcement. Had surgery that following Nov. Have been recovering with PT and finally got back to sprints and running several weeks ago. One morning woke up and knee was in so much sharp shooting pain and so stiff I couldn't bend it. Was back in crutches and limping again. Another MRI said partial ACL graph tear and possible new meniscus tears. Getting a Platelet Rich Injection shot soon and just ordered a similar brace that supports both lateral and medial sides of the knee. Hoping this helps. I just want my knee back!

@dortc2309 Год назад

My physical therapist just ordered something like this. I dislocated my kneecap and also probably stage three arthritis. Motivated with my exercises because I have a service dog to walk, live alone & need to keep my original issue parts. Dislocating a kneecap hurts bad enough I can’t imagine a replacement knee!

@amberglenn4180 Год назад

Thank you for this video. I just got one and the instructions..or lack of is terrible. I just needed a knee brace to help with keeping it from giving out until I get my new one, next month. Lol

@davidtebera4488 4 месяца назад

I wear one for lateral knee pain reduction. The clasps wear out too quickly. Other than having to replace the clasps/clips it served me well enough. Big FYI if you put too much pressure on the knee you can actually cause hip joint pain.

@christinesloan20 Год назад

ive had multiple injections..now they have tried the gel injection in my knee i pray it works..i also just got fitted for my brace something like this..lord i hope it helps me to walk and with this pain

Hi, thanks for sharing your comment. 😊I just had stem cell therapy too on my right knee. Medially is where my arthritis is worse. How long initially did you wear it ? And then for how long did you continue that routine ? Thank you !

@MARKJOHNSON-rp9md Год назад

`I have been having quad pain and knee weakness inn my left leg for over two years. My osteopath prescribed one of these to see if it will help with the weakness. It feels good but I've only had it one for a few hours. I'll report back.

@sujitasharma6968 Год назад

Similar to the Ossur brand in Australia called unloader too.

@rather-reverend Год назад

Heya! I'm a 51-year-old Crossfitter with intermittent arthritis issues. I had a pretty bad time back in 2016, but my knees got better after I pulled back on training - i.e., I kind of had to pull back! Just this year I upped training a good bit again, and the ache is starting to come back. Could an unloader give my a knees and me a little more wiggle room? (I have a consult with my orthopedic doctor in a couple weeks, just interested in some input.)

😅Hi, has a knee confusion with resulting effusion caused by a strong impact when I missed a step from stairwell. Had HA injections and almost all of those “crippling “ pains and other symptoms are gone but after PT and other exercises there is still pain on the medial knee side. My Orthodontist prescribed a brace that would off load my the painful area. Is there anything you can comment on this? Thank you

@jenniferfry7153 Год назад

One last question. What side of my knee would I know where to put it on.? Do I need to know before I buy..if I buy

@lagunaray 5 месяцев назад

Hi Doc, I am at the driving range hitting 100 to 200 balls a day. I'm right-handed and my left knee has become sore & tender to touch around the outside of the kneecap. The pain is greater when I am climbing hills or stairs. I'm 6' and 280 lbs so weight is a contributing factor. I had the knee x-rayed and nothing remarkable was found. I am taking Tylenol & Voltaren with little relief . Would you recommend I try this brace to reduce pain?

@bmcarpetcleaningandfloorca4410 Год назад

I have 2 of them. I think they do off load inner knee pain. However, it feels like it puts greater pressure on hips and ankles. I cant use these all that much because of that.

@dimitrisl9085 Год назад

@RobertFergusonDCFIAMA Год назад

I have lateral OA of my left knee. I have had three Cortisone injections over the last three years. I am trying this brace with a heel on the medial side. I am also trying a heel lift on the medial side. I am a little pronated on the left leg. Furthermore, I just received this brace, and I am trying it. Furthermore, I have had it on for a couple hours. I feel like it should push out more lateral. I am also 6'5'' and 300 lbs.

@jenniferfry7153 Год назад

My Orthopedic doc says I don't need a brace, but my knee is buckling and click from severe arthritis. Would this help? I really am trying to avoid a surgery!! Been watching your videos for the last week or two now and working hard on my glutes.. especially when walking it is beginning to help some. Thank you

@amberglenn4180 Год назад

I was told the same thing. But this knee brace helped me. Pain still there but I'm not falling as much. And I am able to go to the gym now. Trying to keep legs strong I have problems with knee giving out causing me to fall or I will try to stand up to walk and there will be streaks of pain and not always same spot. I also use a cane to help take weight off the knee.

@teresamichele4747 Год назад

I received this today and returned it today, not for me unfortunately it didn’t help and wasn’t comfortable.

@teresamichele4747 Год назад

I ordered this to use at work am I able to use over jeans? Thank you

@epmanualphysicaltherapy Год назад

Hi Teresa, you should be able to use it over your jeans but if it feels too tight or you feel any other discomfort do not use it while wearing jeans. 🧡

@annsawyer6947 Год назад

Are the descriptions correct? In the video you say that OA on outside of knee should use the brace on the inside of leg. The link descriptions show that type of brace = where the OA is.

@dimitrisl9085 Год назад

Would be nice to have a clarification of this as I'm about to purchase one but don't want to make a mistake

@kevingormley4893 Год назад

Hi El Paso, you have been making a lot of videos about strength in gluts for better Knee health and quads exercise should be avoided. Is there ever a time to work on the quads after partial or full knee replacement or should quads not be made stronger after a year or two years out from surgery. Not right after surgery but years after surgery.

@dimitrisl9085 Год назад

Good question, it's unfortunate no one has answered yet

@privateprivate8366 8 месяцев назад

I’ve known I’ve had arthritis, for over 15 years. Still, I would walk for as long as 1-1/2 hours around the park. Only a couple of times has it flared up and felt that it’s possibly bone on bone. But, then, I had a fall a couple years ago, heard a pop and I’ve been in pain and limping ever since. Just really busy and too dependent upon pain killer. But, I wanted to stop this and heal, so I went to an orthopedist. He took X-rays and told me it was just OA. I’m not a doctor at all, but I disagreed, merely because I knew that I wasn’t in permanent pain, with the right knee, until I had the fall. While I will be starting PT soon, I decided to buy one of these and will see how it works, since I have to be more physically busy, during this holiday season, fixing up a house. I almost wish it came with a shoulder strap, to maintain position though. I have no interest in wearing shorts, during winter, and will be wearing it over jeggings.

@epmanualphysicaltherapy 8 месяцев назад

Hey there! Sounds like it is possible that you could have a tibial shift. We have a great video that explains this and how to fix it if you are interested. Here is a link: “How To Fix Inner Knee Pain In 2 Minutes” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kFLmU4ZHYV4.html

@epmanualphysicaltherapy Год назад

hey Ibou, thanks for watching. This knee brace is to unload on individuals with knee osteoarthritis. If you have a seven year old with knee pain it would be best to speak with pediatrician and see if the pain is coming form growth plates or injury.

Will Medicaid cover this device if a doctor orders it?

@sharong8841 Год назад

It wouldn’t cover a brace for my husband unless the brace came from a participating brace provider.

Mine is covered by the NHS. £500 these are. I'm yet to be measured for one and hoping it helps. But it looks so bulky. How do you wear this under jeans, or any bottoms?
