Fit Geno Patella Knee Brace for Women and Men, Patellar Tendon Support Strap with Side Stabilizers, Knee Band with Patella Gel Pads for Meniscus Tear Arthritis Pain Injury Running

This knee brace has been a true lifesaver to me. Four weeks ago, I completely snapped my knee backwards while doing some lawn work. If you can imagine a sudden loud pop, your knee literally popping and hyperextending at the same time…and then everything just goes down hill from there. Well, being a person who wants to self diagnose and self treat through the help of Goggle, I had figured out I had one of three injuries…and yes, a torn MCL was my first diagnose and that’s what I have. And yes, I went to the doctor to have a true diagnose of my injury. I cannot always rely 100% on Goggle even though it has not let me down yet! Being very active in my grand babies lives and having a 77 year old mother I take care of, who has time to be down for six to eight weeks with knee surgery? That is right…neither do I! So, after seven attempts at finding a knee brace that would strongly support the top and the bottom of my Patella so I would not rehyperextend my knee which happened three times, I finally found THE brace!!! I wear it at all times except at bedtime. I have not gone without this brace since I purchased it. I truly believe that my tear is going to heal without surgery. I can still feel it trying to pop back, but the brace prevents it, and since it’s preventing it, the pain is not occurring. I am going on vacation in two days…this will be the test on how well this brace preforms for me, but if I have to guess, my Key West vacation is going to be awesome!!! I highly recommend this brace if you have an injured knee. The support, stability, and the range of motion are all checked off with the use of this brace. Update: It is now the new year, and I wanted to give an update on my knee. Key West was WONDERFUL…as always, but I must say that if I had not had my trusty little knee brace, I would have been miserable. I walked everywhere and even the two airports I had to trot across were not issues thanks to my knee brace. My knee seems to be almost healed, but I tweek it every now and then; so, I get out the knee brace to wear for a day or so, and then I am ready to face the world again brace free. 🛳️ Carnival Cruise Spring Break ‘23…Here I come!!!

I purchased this because I’m recovering from a serious knee injury. Almost 4 months ago, I tore my MCL and meniscus in my right knee. The doctor said no surgery so I’ve been doing PT, and that has helped a lot. While I’m getting better, I feel like I still need an extra something to stabilize my knee more when I’m up and about. I had many knee braces but nothing small like this one. The other ones are good but since I’m moving better now they restrict my range of motion more. This brace is way smaller but it is still supportive. I like that it comes apart and you can adjust it to your liking. It’s also not bulky like the rest and I can wear it under my pants. I’m a mail carrier and I’m probably going to go back to work soon so I need all the support I can get. This brace holds my knee cap in place when I’m moving and I like that it has this little cushion around the knee opening. I wear a lot of leggings too and this fits perfectly on the outside of the leggings. A good knee brace at a good price. Because I got this one brace from the doctor and that cost $170, and I feel like this brace works better, because it offers the support I need without restricting my range of motion. Good buy.

I am 6ft 280lbs with legs that resemble tree trunks. So the odds were not in the favor of this brace. I usually wear something that makes me look like Robocop however I figured I would give it a chance. First thought was wow this is light and a little delicate looking but figured why not try it. I placed it on my left knee and wore it around the house with shorts. It stayed in place and provided a lot of relief. I couldn't believe it but it does work. The only downside was the Velcro straps are lacking the strength to hold it in place on this fat kid especially when I wore slacks. The bottom Velcro would pop free throughout the day causing the brace to slide down my leg. You loose all cool points when you start walking funny with a lump in you pants leg.

Don’t waste your money No support doesn’t fit right

I am very disappointed this will be going back. I was excited to find something that is not obvious under clothing, and it actually stabilized my kneecaps well for daily wear (although I wouldn't recommend for exercise), but the narrow piece of material is not adequate and, even placed perfectly, after wearing under jeans for a couple hours, the end of the piece with the Velcro hooks curled and was biting painfully into my flesh, making the skin on the back/inside of my knee raw. I think if you wear exclusively with shorts or exercise pants that would hold the strips flat, this would probably work, but I have a much heavier duty brace for workouts and was looking for something it for under my daily clothes that wouldn't be so bulky or obvious or hot. It's too bad they made the hook strip and loop strip exactly the same size; I think if the loop side was just a couple mm wider than the hook side, it might have worked.

I've been dealing with left knee pain, weakness, and instability for most of the last 2 years. I've been advised that a total knee replacement is likely in my foreseeable future. In the meantime, I decided that I needed a solution that would help me get a bit more life out of the existing joint. Upon receiving this brace 6 days ago, I immediately set to using it when doing my Fall yard work. What a difference it made! My lack of "trust" in the joint dissolved after one afternoon of wearing it during yard work. I was very pleasantly surprised at having NO pain during the 4 hours I spent doing the yard work. The weakness and instability that I'd grown to accept as "the way things were" were GONE! Even after finishing the yard work and removing the brace, I experienced none of the "I guess I over-did it" regrets that have followed ANY significant use of the joint. I also have less "joint fatigue" after using the brace, whether going for a walk, doing yard work, or any other activity that would previously challenged me and sent me to the medicine chest for Advil of Tylenol. It has been a breeze to put on and remove and it has totally lived up up to the expectations I had from reviewing the original posted information on Amazon. My best take-away is knowing that I've regained mobility and perhaps even have found a solution that will delay a visit with a surgeon for a total knee replacement. THANK YOU!

Advertising wasn't exactly ... as the product is. I wouldn't advise having much hope in the hype

Ivy Liang: I previously purchased this brace and purchased it again for my Aunt with her knee which has a torn meniscus and causing her pain. This brace really helped her too allowing her to tolerate longer walks. I purchase your Fit Geno Patella knee brace and it is exactly what I was looking for. I work as a Physical Therapist Assistant and was looking for a smaller, light weight knee stabilizing patella brace for a geriatric patient who is in her 90’s. Because she’s small framed and has arthritis I was looking for something that would be easy for her to put on and take off independently which she is able to do by slipping it on and off with having to undo all the Velcro every time. Most importantly she says her knee pain has resolved along with the exercises she has been doing along with the therapeutic ultrasounds I have been delivering a handful of times. She now no longer has to take her pain medication daily, but occasionally applies her Voltaren Gel, but not needing it daily. She reports the brace is comfortable to wear and doesn’t leave any marks on her skin. Thank you, Satisfied Customer and Physical Therapist Assistant

It did not have much support for the knee… not well made
