FocuBoody OA Unloader Hinged Knee Brace Support for Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoi...

Quite a few years ago, I broke my left leg in multiple places. Even since then I have had trouble with the leg and the knee at times. Because of surgery, the part of my leg between the knee and foot is enlarged. The surgeon did a great job putting everything back together, but unfortunately in a larger package. The first challenge for this knee brace then would it fit on the lower leg? The answer is yes, despite it being enlarged. I want to be clear that during the testing my knee was not giving me problems. The problems come and go. I was evaluating this knee brace for future problems. After testing I think this knee brace will offer much better support than the soft braces that I have used in the past, so I am glad I have it. I had little problem in trying it out except in releasing the straps, you need to push really hard on the buckle release. If do have a flareup of knee problems, and this brace does not work as expected, I will update this review.

This brace has been my miracle! I have tried lots of braces! I have been to the ortho, several times, they took fluid out of my knee, I’ve had gel and Cortizone shots was still in agony. I did physical therapy. I went back they put me on prednisone, still no relief. They said there was nothing else they could do for me. My knees are bone on bone. I work in nursing 12 hour shifts so I am on my feet all day roughly 6-10 miles a day. Today is only my second day wearing but the pain has instantly gone! As far as I know I did not injury my knee. I’m am so happy with this brace!

It started out decent but this brace broke during tightening in barely over 90 days without heavy use. Maybe if you know you need an affordable brace for the short-term, it would be ok. It did do the hinge adjustments with the tool. I found it slid down my leg no matter how much I could tighten it. (--I wore it over pants--maybe it's better over stretch pants or skin?) A feature I thought was clever is that at the ends of the straps, there are two-sided velcro patches so you can remove the attaching velcro to trim excess strap and then stick the velcro back on the new end. (The instructions didn't explain that and I initially thought I had to cut off the opposite-velcro end to trim it--but I discovered the removable patch before I did it.)

Not s bad knee brace, but it doesn’t quite fit me right. The top part of the leg is a little too big. It’s adjustable but still too big even when I make it as tight as it can go. I know I got the left one but something is still off for me.

There are pieces missing. Also, they were delivered in two different color boxes. I'm not sure if that's why one does not have everything on it. Also, it slips down. Three of the closures/snaps did not work. I can't get them to unclasp.

Brace fits well and is very adjustable. Seems pretty durable so hopefully it will last a long time. Decent instructions are provided to help with wearing and adjustments. Once the velcro straps are adjusted the brace can be removed and put back on by just undoing the buckles making it a lot quicker to put on and remove. The design of the buckles could be better but they do the job. Making angle adjustments are kind of a pain as they require tools (included) and replacing metal inserts (included). Overall for the price this brace sells for it is a great value and a does its job well.

Broke the tibia & P/T didn't help much but, this brace controlled my balance & able to walk without pain. The brace does rub on the thigh so added a leg sleeve to stop rubbing. It does have to be assembled which was easy.

This hinged knee brace has a robust build which should last for quite some time. Adjustments have been relatively easy to make despite the lack of instructions. Brace does an excellent job of providing support especially while hiking. If I'm going to be active with this brace, I'll wear a thin compression sleeve underneath to prevent the brace from getting dirty. Cushion padding feels comfy even for longer wear times. Straps do feel a bit on the cheap side but are functional. All in all its a solid brace for that provides good knee support.
