Question 1

How small will this adjust?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for asking. The determining factor for how small it can be adjusted is actually based on the middle strap - not the two outer straps. There has to be enough velcro to hold the middle strap in place and because of the shape of the middle strap, it can only be pulled so far thru the opening of the two outer straps before it bunches up. So with the most minimal acceptable amount of velcro holding the middle strap closed - and with no bunching - the circumference measured is 12 inches. Keep in mind, this would mean that some of the velcro (hook side) would actually be laying over the exposed knee hole. If no other person would be using the knee support, the extra velcro could be cut off so that it does not cover the knee hole. Also keep in mind that this measurement of 12 inches is not under tension. So if the knee in question is smaller than 12 inches, the knee brace will most likely slide down the leg. As always, if you make the purchase and the knee support doesn't meet your needs, you can simply return it. Hopefully I have explained this well.

Question 2

Does this brace prevent lateral patella movement? (like the J braces)

Accepted Answer

Our TechWare Pro Knee Brace is not specifically a J brace but it has been designed to provide help in stabilizing the patella. What sets our product apart is the bi-directional strap system that provides even support around the patella. With most knee supports all the straps come from one direction causing an uneven pull either to the right or left which is not conducive to stabilizing the patella. With ours we have two straps supporting one direction and another strap comes from the opposite direction. This makes for more uniform compression and tension around the patella and can make a difference in preventing further injury while also helping to minimize knee pain. Also if you compare prices to J braces, we are considerably less. It might be worth trying.

Question 3

My knee is 19" but 4" above center knee is 29" what size should I get?

Accepted Answer

Hi LoveLoveLove!! Thanks for asking because many times the thigh measurement becomes the more critical one over the knee, especially in cases where there is such a significant difference. Our best recommendation is to order the XXL. The strap that goes around the thigh will be tight and it might be too tight for you, in which case, you can simply return it back to Amazon for a refund. The strap that goes around the actual knee might be a bit too long and you will simply need to attach it the other side of the opening - so the knee hole might be covered with neoprene which shouldn't be an issue. There is no problem if you order this and it just doesn't work as Amazon makes returns easy. Hope this helps!

Question 4

If it slips down a little while I am working out, did I put it on wrong or do I need a bigger size to make it tighter?

Accepted Answer

Renee - thanks for asking. There are a few reasons why it can slip a little bit. But first, we would suggest that re-tightening the upper strap and the lower strap. Do them one at a time with the middle strap being attached. Generally it will be one or both of those straps that just need a bit of fine tuning.  Also, if you are doing a lot of deep knee bends or perhaps a spin class - it isn't uncommon for any knee strap to slip a little. As you skin becomes more moist, it should actually stay put better. Another reason it can slip is because we women like to put lotion on our legs! So with any knee strap or sleeve, it is always best to start with a no-lotion, dry leg! A larger size brace won't necessarily stop the slipping unless your measurements are borderline to that next size up. But if your measurements are clearly in the middle of the range, then going up a size isn't going to help.  Because the neoprene material has a stretchy characteristic, this kind of slight slippage is usually just due to either the upper or lower brace not being quite tight enough. Hopefully this will help - if not - please know that we do have a customer satisfaction guarantee with Amazon. Sincerely, Chrissy, Customer Service Manager, TechWare Pro
