MUELLER Sports Medicine Adjustable Max Knee Single Strap for Men and Women, Compression & Pain Relief Support for Osgood-Schlatter's, Runner's Knee, Patellar Tendinitis, Black

Got this knee brace for my mom & she said it is very comfortable & helps a lot with her knee pain.

Highly recommend!! Received braces played 18 holes of golf on hilly terrain. They work perfectly. The Velcro on product is the strongest I ever seen.

I am just about due for a knee replacement. I've been using this brace for a couple months and it has been a big help. In the morning around the house I'm almost back to normal. It doesn't get me up and down hills for two or three miles, but it should get me to the surgery.BUT the Velcro started giving out after two months of daily use. Changing the 5 stars to 4.

I have some non-specific pain/ache in my left knee, probably due to overuse/runner's knee or just age [I'm an older guy]. My knee responds well to an "Ace" bandage wrap, so I wanted to try something more convenient. So, I ordered this Mueller "Max Knee Strap" as well as the Mueller "moderate" Elastic Knee Brace [size LG/XL], both from Amazon.Both knee braces provide enough compression and/or stability to relieve my pain. However, this one-size-fits-all Max Knee Strap has more adjustment above the knee, so it is more comfortable to wear throughout the day. My thigh, at 2 inches above the knee, measures about 21 inches, which is fine for this Max Knee Strap, but at the extreme limit for Mueller's Elastic Knee Brace.I don't use this Knee Strap while actually exercising [I've taken up rowing on a Concept2 Model D] because I don't need the support for that activity. But, I've been using this both before and after, with great results [minimal or no knee pain]. A good product that works well, and it's a snap [or a velcro pull] to put on or take off, or adjust.EDITED, Oct 2018: I've had the "one size" Max Knee Strap for about 5 years now--still works great--and just now got the "Large/X-Large" size [so I'd have an extra as a back-up]. Comparing them side-by-side, the original "one size" and the current "Large/X-Large" are identical in every dimension, and also identical in materials, construction, stitching, etc. So, unless you need/want the "Small/Medium," suggest you get the cheaper of the "One Size" and the "Large/X-Large."

I bought this and two others. The two others have double straps (shaped like a sideways capital letter H). Those are more adjustable and comfortable to wear. This one feels more stiff and you can't bend your knee as well as with the double strap ones, and when you do bend your knee it moves out of place. If this is the only one you can get, it is better than nothing, but not my firs choice. Good luck and feel better!

I started running seriously about 10 months ago. Everything was fine up until 6 weeks ago when I started developing a sore patella tendon, which was sensitive when touching it. No problem (I thought)... I kept running which I believe made my patella tendon become misaligned so after each run,I would feel slight pain when bending my knee. More pain if I bent my knee all the way. Ugh, resorted to RICE and on two separate occasions did no physical activity with my legs for 1 week and cut back my running regiment from 4-5 times a week to maybe 2-3 times. Nothing work, the pain wouldn't go away. Resorted to trying different knee supports: Mueller's Jumper Knee Strap (helped reduced the pain after a run but didn't eliminate it), Aylio Patella Strap (not as effective as Mueller's Jumper Knee Strap), Pro-Tec Athletics The Lift Knee Support (this seemed to alleviate the pain after running but when I tried running with this, the velcro strap kept chafing my other leg so no go), Mueller's Knee Sleeve (used more for post runs for compression support), Mueller KT Tape (this surprisingly lifted my patella tendon and alleviated the pain somewhat after a run when used in conjunction with the Jumper Knee Strap - but didn't get rid of the pain. Still use the KT tape with Mueller's Max Knee Strap for optimal support).But after running with Mueller's Max Knee Strap, it seemed to make my Patella Tendon track in alignment while running and for the 1st time in weeks, I experienced little pain after running. My patella tendon alignment has improved to the point where I'm pain free while bending my knee ... although, I still ice my knee after each run and occasionally take a Motrin to aid in the process.Bottom line, if you're suffering from runner's knee, give this product a try. It may have saved my running career. My only complaint is that Mueller should make this in different sizes. I'm 5'8" and about 150lbs and find that I'm tightening this strap all the way with the velco straps (which also could stick better). Would be nicer if I could tighten even more when I want extra support. I don't have chicken legs either for my size. Rather for my height and weight, I would say my legs are on average to the beefier side. So Mueller definitely should consider making this in various sizes. If you have really skinny legs, you might find this strap to loose.

Didn’t last 2 days!! Garbage!!! Works well but look at the picture!!! Holes!!
