It works best for knees, ankles, feet, wrists and elbows where you can wrap it around the joint. However I used it when I had my hip replacement; just had to sit or lie down and lay it over the part that hurts. It's much better than trying to use regular ice or a bag of peas.

Get the T-shirt. It exists, and I actually wore it last year when I had a real knee sprain.

Would be safer renting a true knee scooter. Used a knee scooter with my joint replacement surgery and it was a great thing. Could cut corners, easily go down hills. Hardest to go up hills. Best to have spotter then. This walker is not as agile as knee scooter. It does not roll as smoothly or turn as easily. Would say not to walker and encourage rental of knee scooter. Best of luck with your surgery!

I use thsi for physical therapy fora knee replacement so I am not sure I can answer your question. I needed the back to to go up and I didn't need the face rest so I haven't used it.

I found it a great help for the problem I had. I injured a tendon in my knee where my knee actually tried to move sideways! It would not hold me up. This brace was most helpful as I waited for the healing to take place. And I was careful to be sure I rested it so it would heal. It gave me all the support I needed. I first tried the over-the-counter bulky ones and they caused too much rubbing and irritation. This fit like a glove. I hope this helps you.

I will be 50 in April, have had 6 knee operations, and LOVE this series of workout BECAUSE of its low impact! I am now doing the Master Series and use knee bands for my tendinitis when it flares up, but they don't prevent me from doing the workouts! He shows how to modify the exercises for folks with knee problems and constantly reminds you to protect your knees! Not knowing what your knee issues are, I would say you would be fine. If in doubt, ask your doctor. Good luck!

Not that I know of but have to ask the manufacturer. Per my experience I've found it to be a huge help for: faster soft tissue recovery from sprains, strains, tears, soreness, bruising, or just joint or muscle weakness. Can be use as prevention to add strength or support to an area of shoulders, arms, legs or back for sport or physical effort of many types. Introduced by a licensed Physical Therapist Ada Wells of Alameda - she might be able to better answer your question.

I've never used it for the knee, but it might provide some support for the back of the knee.

This is a lite support for the knee. I would advise you to seek your Orthopedist's views on the proper knee support.

I used the universal pad for my son's knee surgery. It comes with velcro so you can tighten it up how you want it.

I never used it for that but I don't see where that would be a problem. When I no longer needed it, I gave it to someone else with a bad knee.

I don't really know if it will help your particular situation. I know that when I'm suffering from knee strain, it makes my knee feel snug and warm, which seems to lessen the discomfort over time. It's not a miracle cure, but it helps. Good luck to you!

We bought the Polar Ice Large Knee Wrap for use after my wife's total knee replacement. She used it daily for about six weeks. It would come from the freezer to her knee and back to the freezer. We never needed to replace any of the individual ice packs. She was very satisfied with the Knee Wrap. It was easy to use and served her well.

You would have to check with your healthcare provider to answer this question. The Northern California Kaiser foundation provides a referral to a medical rental company who has this and other brands of knee walkers. In my case the cost of the rental was far greater than the cost to purchase the device. When I no longer have a need for it, I will donate it and take the write off!

Absolutely! I hurt my knee last year playing soccer and now wear it everyday for added support. The compression isolates the joint for more stability. I even used this winter and was able to go skiing!

Pull it up until the center of the knee exit the circle opening. I use it for my physical therapy for walking all the time, while recovering from a stroke. Works great for me to help stabilize my knee while exercising. Good investment.
