BraceAbility Patellar Tracking Short Knee Brace | Running, Exercise & Basketball Support Sleeve Stabilizer for Post Kneecap Dislocation, Tendonitis, Patellofemoral Pain & MCL/LCL Injuries (Medium)

My 16 year old daughter dislocated her kneecap. After healing and PT, she was able to play high level softball again. This brace is perfect…it has a harder C shaped support to hold the knee cap in place from moving out, the velcro straps are very solid and hold well, and the brace is small enough to be worn under her softball pants without noticing its there. She does wear a thin CopperFit sleeve under the brace to avoid any rubbing. She can do anything on the field now…including sprinting, sliding, and pitching. This is by far the best brace of the many we tried. 5 stars and would buy again if we wear this one out.

Ive used patellar stablizers since 2009. This is not my favorite, but its a thinner design, which I like. Its a neoprene tube with a Y shaped contraption including a bumper and straps attached to the outside of the tube... slide on the tube from either direction if you need right or left support. The bumper cannot be rotated around (towards top/bottom your knee cap (it only serves either left or right side). The velcro straps are nice in theory, but you cant really set it to get more lower or upper pattelar support to patellar tilt like proper KT or adjustable bumpers provide. If you tighten it too much on both or eith strap, you cut off blood flow +/- compress tendons on the back of your knee. No amount of tightening makes it not slide up or down (me, it walks up my thigh about 1/2in really uncomfortable, and 1/2in too high for a C-shaped bumper to do its job... I returned the medium that should have fit by measuring, but couldnt hardly get up to my athletic knee. The L is the right size, the design isnt right for me. I find, after 2 weeks of trying, I'm constantly fiddling with it, as it slips down, or the straps inch past the back neoprene band and cut into the back of your lower leg, or the neoprene rides up or down and the rigid staps to the bumper go in the opposite direction. I tried crosing the velcro, to fix on the opposite strap, which lasted longer for comfort but same overall effect. Deceiving... each morning I think....now Ive figured it out... for about 15min... then fiddle all day trying to get it right. Im on the hunt for a different one.

I had a fabric tape measure. Anyways so I wrap it around the top of my knee cap under my knee and back to the top and it said that my knee was 14 inches around and I had my knee extended. I ordered the medium based on the sizing chart. I put it on and it was cutting into my skin on the top and the bottom! Not only was it way too tight oddly enough it wasn't tight enough around my kneecap! That was the loose area I showed it to my physical therapist and he was like let me measure you. He did it a little differently then I did and said I'm actually 16 in around. He did make note that the piece you strap over the knee to push the patella over slightly to the left was not pushing the kneecap. Either I have extremely small kneecaps or this is too round to be efficient for actually gripping and pushing it over. So be careful in measuring and I weigh 165 lb and 5 ft 3 and it did not do anything but rest the side my kneecap when I put it as tight as it would go. I recommend getting another brand than this one unless you have meaty thighs and bigger kneecaps I mean I don't know. I hope this helps.

After dealing with patellar tracking issues on and off for 10+ years, I finally discovered this brace that lets me continue exercising without aggravating the condition. Continuing to exercise through a patellar tracking flare-up is essential, because maintaining strong muscles is a must for stabilizing the knee. Yet exercising can be tricky because, without properly supporting the knee, the impact and stress of exercise can make the knee feel worse. I've tried at least two other types of knee brace, and they were better than nothing but didn't do much. This brace is the only thing I've found that is designed such that it effectively addresses a loose kneecap. It does this by way of a thick, hard pad that gently pushes the kneecap into proper alignment and holds it there. I don't think this brace would help much with anything other than patellar tracking. It doesn't provide much compression. I don't have arthritis so can't say for sure, but I doubt this brace would help with that, and I think it's underrated here because people tried it for arthritis and it didn't help. A couple of tips for using this brace for patellar tracking problems: - Wear the brace as much as possible, but definitely while exercising. It will make all the difference in range of motion, impact tolerance, and in how strenuously you can exercise. When you're not exercising, it still works well to support your daily activities and gradually train the kneecap to stay where it belongs. - Do NOT overtighten the brace. Intuitively, I wanted to wear the brace extra tight, thinking this would result in faster recovery from my flare-up. But overtightening it made things worse, causing pain on the outside of the kneecap, where I'd never had it before. In my experience, the brace works best when it is tightened just short of the point of actual tension. The straps should feel slightly loose. This seems like it wouldn't work, but it does. I love this thing and am tempted to buy more of them just in case it gets taken off the market.
