CAMBIVO Knee Brace with Side Stabilizers & Gel Pad, Open Patella Adjustable

I played my first game after resting and it protected my knee very well at 23 days into my Grade 1 MCL sprain. Movement is appropriately restricted, but still able to sprint. Definitely protected the knee from any side to side movement that I am not ready for, though I am still not able to do the exact move that caused this injury -- that will take time. I am slim to average and bought the medium and it fit great with no slipping at all. Was not too tight, or too loose and really easy to adjust. The velcro is great quality with very satisfying adhesion. I'm only wearing the brace for sports and kinesio taping when not playing. The knee felt pretty good when I removed the brace, and for the entire day after. Pain did return about 36 hours later. Ligaments are weird, and it seems no amount of resting after 21 days will do it any good, and the best way is to exercise with normal breaks in between, so definitely glad to have a proper brace to get back out there. A great purchase for a quality brace. UPDATE: I'm now exactly 60 days in after the injury [seems like an eternity] and feeling about 80% better. It's still tender when pressing on the injury site. Optimistic that in about 4 more weeks, I will be all fixed up and that, with appropriate caution, won't reinjure. I'll continue with the brace during that time, if not for a bit longer. The brace velcro and shape is holding up very well considering the dirt that gets on it, and also that I have done about 4 mild soapy rinses so far. UPDATE-- it is exactly 90 days and, aside from some weakness from the lack of normal activity, I'm about 95 percent fixed up. These three months felt like an eternity, but all tenderness at the injury site is now gone. I'll wear the brace for another three months for running, meanwhile will work a bit harder at the gym to get the strength back.

Superior support for my knee, which has taken on added support for my bad hip. Very much needed while shopping or household chores. Love the adjustable straps and comfortable fit. So happy with this bracè.Love the CAMBIVO brand. Recommended for all seeking knee pain relief.

The amount of support this knee brace gives me is so much better than any other I have tried. The nonslip grips are soft and jelly but thick and actually work. Also I don’t have a fear that it’s going to peel because of sweat and it didn’t not. This seems to be very well made and that donut in the middle feels so nice. I repurchase this in a heart beat if I needed to.

Good

This knee brace did a good job supporting the knee. The side stabilizers also kept the knee in place. It’s fairly stiff support. I use the support for fast walking. The brace was comfortable enough to wear while doing housework and chores.

Very comfortable to ware is good for walking /running without any bad pain I like it is good for the price I paid

love it , easy to walk with it on , comfortable and adjusts to your knee size, stays in place, seems to hold up pretty good

Was very short not as long as I thought it would be. Due to the shortness it caused more discomfort than anything else. Thought I would be able to move around but still have support but it was super stiff not allowing for much movement. If you need it for anything other than extra support without an injury I wouldn’t get it.

I would but this product again, working very well

yo las utilizo para correr y me parece que tienen una buena compresion y comodidad en su material, solo es cuestion de usar la talla correcta

I can’t see how this got 4 1/2 stars! I tried to unravel it and the Velcro ripped right off. And then I figured maybe it was a one off so I wrapped it around my knee to get a feel of it anyway, and it was bulky than the bulk barn! The struggle finding a good one of these is real!

For people with shorter legs this is a nice knee brace. The narrow straps that wrap around behind your knee bunches and is uncomfortable when squatting down and sitting; it was designed without these straps, it would be perfect.
