I have a long history of problems with knees, hips and feet. I'm about to have an operation that will make me keep my left foot off the ground for six months, leaving me to hop around on crutches and my right leg only. And it's just at this point that the fibula in my right knee decides to dislocate and play up. I have a few weeks to sort it out or I'll be stuck, completely immobile.In desperation I decided to buy this fairly heavy duty knee brace but I didn't hold out much hope for a miracle cure. Ordering and delivery were swift, easy and the brace arrived much more quickly than I had expected.OK, now this is the part where I sound like the 'stooge' at a faith healer show. I wore this brace for one full day and I really felt the benefit. It did feel very bulky and distinctly odd and I realised that I hadn't positioned it perfectly on this first outing. But the real surprise was when I got home at the end of the day and took it off. My weak knee felt 50 times better than it had that morning. And it didn't wear off; I felt a real and permanent improvement.So, next morning, I was a bit more careful about positioning it just right and it felt much more comfortable and less obtrusive all day. That night there was a further improvement. Now I know that this doesn't count as a 'miracle cure' but, boy, am I impressed!To be clear; I don't have a debilitating injury and I think that I just needed a bit of proper support to help my knee heal itself and, for that, this knee brace has performed brilliantly. Although one of the more up market braces (heavier and with metal hinges), the cost pales into insignificance compared to what it has done to help me. And it won't exactly beak the bank in the first place. I have read reviews saying that, after a while, you don't notice that you're wearing it. Well that hasn't been true for me and, on me, it is pretty bulky, but that's a tiny compromise for getting my mobility back and ridding myself of the constant and nagging ache in my knee. I've had this particular knee injury for more than four months and it just wasn't getting any better.There may be other products out there that do the same thing, possibly more cheaply; I don't know because I haven't tried anything but this. What I can say is that this brace really, really, worked (and continues to work) for me and, as fully paid up cynic, I'm amazed!

I have suffered from Tendonitis in my right knee for quite some time. I have had great difficulty walking and bending the knee and have had to resort to using crutches. I have tried a myriad different ways to achieve some form of comfort but have had no success. A suggestion from a friend led me to investigate the world of kneebraces. I say world because there are literally hundreds of them. I chose the Neo G Medical Grade Patella Kneebrace because it fell exactly within a wish list of must-haves that I had drawn-up. Must be a universal fit for varying sizes; must be universal for left of right knee; must be washable; must have side hinges and metal supports; must be easy to fit without recourse to threading foot through and pulling up the leg into position; give sufficient support to achieve necessary comfort: comfort being the operative word. I have been wearing this kneebrace for a week now and can say, in all honesty, that it does all that it says on the box. I have had tremendous relief. I can now walk without crutches and bend my knee slightly. Hopefully the affected tendons are now healing as there is now no untoward strain being put on them. I thoroughly recommend this marvellous devise to anyone with a similar affliction to mine.

Excellent with great support for the knee

Excellent quality, good value, good delivery, it does what it says on the box, helped my knee immensely, kept me updated with delivery..

Hello :) I recently had a very nasty injury to my lower left knee (known as a lower plateau injury) I also snapped and tore my cruciate ligaments - fore and aft, and also fractured my tibia and fibula. My lower left knee is held together with custom brackets and screws. Basically, I walk on only half a lower knee joint, and as a result my lower left leg is now angled about 10 degrees to the left as I look forward. Walking is excruciatingly painful, and without a brace my lower left leg - as well as moving fore and aft, can also move left to right. There is not much holding it on.The brace/s I have been supplied with from the hospital and physios ALL have their merits, but in my case major problems. I have tried 6 (Yes, six) different braces, but they do not help me, or do not work for my particular injury or are just too cumbersome or painful to wear.I, or rather my wife found this (NEO G Stabilized Hinged Open Knee Support) and it is just WONDERFUL! BTW, there are 3 different type, so choose the right one.I use the brace type with the aluminium hinged left and right stabilizers. Being aluminium, I can bend/adjust the contours of the supports to EXACTLY fit the profiles of my leg (either side). I have had significant muscle wastage, so the normal straight profile does not work for me, but is easy to bend and adjust to exactly fit my leg shape.The two metal braces are easy to remove so one can wash the brace body/material. The velcro straps are strong, but not SO strong as to be hard to adjust.I have purchased 6 (SIX) of these now (and I will purchase more no doubt), and they are SIMPLY PERFECT for me. Of course, perfection would mean not having had the injury in the first place, but honestly - for me - these braces are heaven sent!!!!I wear three in succession, so they can be washed and freshened - anyone who constantly wears a brace will know what I mean.Well done, and thank you NEO G®!!!! .... I can walk, and know that the braces are helping to stabilize and hold my leg on and in place, and when I fall - and I do frequently - the brace supports my knee left and right and has saved me on loads of occasions.I will probably have to wear a brace for a very long time, years in fact.NEO G.... thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Not universal as too big around mid section! I’m not skinny either.
