I have had an ACL rebuild and a full knee replacement on my other leg. This will not provide full support for athletic activities in my opinion but worked very well as something to use for everyday comfort while walking, driving, etc. For post ACL running (I played lacrosse), I used a brace similar to those used by NFL players.

For me, it helped to support the patella during running, but I still had pain during lifting. PT tape helped more during lifting.

Yes it would help with stability on relatively level or sloping ground and on level/sloping ground it is extremely helpful. I have not noticed any significant shock absorption. The adjustable height feature is very helpful and works well. I have a bad knee and planned to use it for hiking on uneven/rough terrain. The footpad has proved to be too small to provide me adequate weight support when using it for hiking in rough terrain. It doesn't firmly balance on the tip when its not on a somewhat level surface. I must make sure to be careful where the foot pad is placed before putting my full weight on it. Having 2 of them would improve stability but I need one hand free for grasping and weight bearing.

I 've not tried it when running. But I tried it while walking. It comes with different sizes of rubbers pieces so you should be able to find one that fit tightly. My answer is 90% sure it will not fall when running, if you find right size of rubber pieces.

I'd say yes... The design of the clip makes it hold on better than most (and a little more difficult to clip on, but that's minor unless you're clipping/Unclipping during your run).

It should work. It is not tremendously bulky. I have seen much worse. It provides some minimal restriction with the moving up and down, and it provides more restriction/stability medial/lateral. I bought it for a very active girl in several sports (basketball, soccer, and softball). Even though it is not the same type of running as a marathon... she made no complaints of discomfort running up and down court/field repeatedly or during conditioning at the start of the seasons. She has had repetitive ankle sprains. Since getting the brace....not one ankle injury!

I damaged just one leg. Prior to the damage I had no problems. This will work for you if you need compression and stability. Therefore I only bought one.

If you try to run I think they will shake all over the place. I don't think it's good to run with ankle weights...if you ask me. I use them for hip and butt exercises and the work great. If you want to add weight to your running the get a weighted vest or wear a heavy back pack. Good luck.

Not sure if this product would work for you based on your discription on what you need. I would consult a specialist first. I just needed mine for support while jogging.

Personally I used the brace for support while playing basketball. It was relatively comfortable and gave me a lot of side-to-side stability while still allowing full forward and backward movements.

My wife was just getting on it when I read this question. She tried it and it worked. She said it is harder on the knees though.

There is a low impact modification for people with bad knees, back, ankles, etc. My wife could not do Insanity because of the high impact, but she has finished Alpha and Beta rounds of T25 with amazing results doing all low impact modification. What's the best is we can do it together for motivation. I do the regular workout and she follows Tanya, the low impact modifier person.I highly recommend this workout to anyone. In fact, we saw such dramatic results, we are now doing the Gamma cycle.

Knee brace is great for strenuous activities ... gym, skiing, etc. It does restrict some knee movement but not too much of a problem. My opinion ... for runners, this brace will be a burden. It will throw the runner off balance for one; secondly, the brace will have the nasty habit of sliding down from the knee. I know the second problem firshand for it affected my skiing. The runners up and down action will definitely shift the brace requiring frequent adjustments upward. You can always tighten the velcro straps super tight but that will restrict blood flow and eventually cramping. Only my opinion! And yes, as you said, it is rock solid and its flexibility is somewhat restrictive.

I honestly do believe it'll help... I have arthritis on both knees but only use it on my left knee due to the fact that I've had multiple surgerys on my right knee due to mcl and acl tears and have a custom brace on my right knee but I feel it helps with that so I don't see why it wouldn't help with a pull... I keep active, I've used it for trail running and cross training including powerlifting and it hasn't let me down yet. :) hope this and it helps.

I run with my Rehnand instead of my knee brace. More comfortable and still pain free!

I guess so. This has been great to use while I run, but it does take some getting used to.

My knee is swollen so it rolls down if I put it on the whole way, but it rolls less than any other I have tried. I use the smaller ones in place of support hose...(up to the knee)...they are easier to put on and never roll. Futuro gives more support than others.
