HI, would this work after knee replacement? Thanks

I can not see why it wouldn't work after knee replacement. I am not a medical doctor but I do enjoy having this available for traveling and in situations where furniture is extremely low. I do recommend that you be careful when first using it as it may move faster then you expect.

I don't see why not. It assists getting you up out of the chair. It was perfect for me when I was very weak when I started chemo.

Yes, this is when I got and started to use this seat - after double knee replacements. I take it with me to doctor's office, church pews, - just get a good chair with arms to sit in and set it at the appropriate weight. You might have to play with the weight adjustments, as the higher the weight, the higher it pushes you up..Its not comfortable to sit on every day, but works well when you go out...The one I use is 5 years old, and the more you use it setting it up and closing it, the easier it is to bend and open up.

Yes, I had a fractured femur. Surgery was performed to insert a rod in my thigh. The area of the surgery was located at my knee. This seat made it possible to get in and out of a chair or wheel chair without putting pressure on the leg where the surgery was performed.

Sorry about your knee. No fun for sure. I am not a doctor however I will share my sons experience. My son was born with a severe club foot that required 3 surgeries to correct at 14 months old. He is now 26 years and has been suffering with arthritis for about 4 years. I originally bought this for myself and he had asked me if I thought it could help him. I was not sure if it would so we gave it a try and it did! He said that it works great for him. I now see that there are pads available on Amazon. I will be buying some here. (The unit wants you to purchase replacements from China. I did not feel comfortable doing that). Best wishes to you.Cheryl Sorry about your knee. No fun for sure.

Yes I believe this will fit your knee. I am a man with stocky legs and large knees and it fit with plenty of room to adjust. Another benefit I found with this product is that you can lay it out flat under your back and it works great for low back pain.

Yes it will. I bought this for my tall husband, 6' 4" for his knee replacement surgery recovery. It is sturdy enough to handle the weight. You can adjust the width and height very easily.

I have Osteoarthritis in my left knee. I have checked the reviews and their pretty damn good. I'm interested in purchasing this unit. I would like to know if this will help my left knee especially since its bone on bone. Kindly advise.

Yes, this will completely wrap around your knee. I used it after my knee replacement and my knee was very swollen.

Most likely it would work. It can be placed for easy access, so you don't have to reach near any moving parts. It could be activated by knee, hip, etc. And it can be moved to other tools.

No. I have been wearing it for support and my knee does hurt less when I walk around but it will not make your knee stronger. If you want to strengthen the muscles around your knee you will have to turn to careful exercise. Perhaps a couple of visits to a physical therapist to show you how to isolate the muscles and strengthen them without causing further damage.

It does help and is very useful. I use it every day while walking. It supports the knee very well.

Hello,Thank you for your interest! We strongly suggest that you get a physician's opinion and recommendation based off your diagnosis. However, I can definitely let you know what knee supports are recommended for post op support: Bauerfeind Genutrain P3 Knee and the Reaction Knee Brace. Both knee braces provide more support to the ligaments and knee.MMAR Sports Medicine

I'm sure it will help somewhat. It works like tiger balm. However, the medication is on an elastic pad (like a bandaid) so I don't know how well the adhesive will work on a joint like a knee. Perhaps if you weren't moving. Hope that helps.

I don't see why not. It's not going to effect the support at all in my opinion. I too have contemplated as I like the design inside. It is a great knee support. Hope that helps.

I believe it would be good for that. However, it depends on how severe your condition is. I have found that it keeps things in place very well and comfortably, and it kept my knee from hurting during physical activity. Also if you wear it during physical activity it will significantly reduce the chances of getting water on the knee, and n last a lot longer without fatigue or pain. If you find that you need to wear it all of the time, I would recommend seeing a doctor.

It could be if one can keep it from rolling down at the top. And finding a good fit can be tricky. I use a Mueller knee brace mostly for my knee which provides excellent support. Have also used an ACE knee brace, but prefer the Mueller. Good luck.

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

Yes I believe it will be helpful. I had an injured knee on top of the normal arthitis pain and as a consequence the knee hurt at rest or in movement. Someone recommended Kytta Salbe and it was wonderful. I keep it in my handbag in case there is a flare up.

Yes you will. It is light weight but very sturdy. I had two total knee replacements at the same time. I folded the walker up and carried it down 14 steps twice a day. Now I use it as a chair for when I groom my puppies. This is a great buy...great product. I highly recommend it.
