I have been wearing braces for many years because I love playing tennis and I have bad knees. I have been wearing brace from $500 to $150, from Donjoy to K2. I didn't know there is better knee brace until I tried shock doctor BIO-Logix. It fits like a glove to my knee, of course you have to make sure the measurement is correct. If anyone is looking for a knee brace, I highly recommended this one. Make sure you have correct measurement according to the instruction. It includes additional pads to add onto the knee brace so that it can fit perfectly. It fits so well that you can wear it all day long.

Over the last 11-12 years I have worn out 3 of the Shock Dr braces item #805. I tore out my ACL in my left leg around 1987, at that time orthopedics had no fix for ACL tears. In 2005 a VA orthopedics surgeon accepted my case {the first 4 surgeons rejected my request for help}, and scoped my left knee about 2 months later. Everything was great for almost 2 years, then it started buckling and locking again everything went back to the way my left knee was before the surgery, and a periodically reoccurring pain stinger that happen whether i'm using the leg or not. And orthopedics claims i'm to young for knee replacement. The crunch in my knee is all that is left of my meniscus so I can't get it scoped again. The braces help prevent the buckling and locking so I can have at least full mobility while wearing the brace. The braces the VA is willing to give only last about 2 months before falling apart. The 3 previous Shock Dr braces lasted years, and I wore the material out the stitching and stapes are still intact. The new Shock Dr,. I just received today looks and feels like it is superior to anything I have worn before. Kudos to your product and thanks for making my life better, being a disabled Vet. I need all the help I can get/afford.

I'm 65 and play competitive singles and doubles tennis. I've had meniscus surgery to my right leg and then I started have issues with my MCL because that is the dominate leg for me that does a lot of pushing off and twisting. I wanted the best knee brace that would keep me in the game and prevent further injuries due to my age. I'm not 20 but my knee thinks so and I play in younger groups. I got a medium since that was my mesurment.First time I put it on - The molded plastic had a nice fit, I didn't need any added padding. There was a discomfort from the inside hinge pressing against the bone. At first, I was thinking I may not be able to live with this. I wore it for a little while and it too tight at the inside hing when I stood up straight and a little relief when I sqauted slightly. So the true test was the next day I had a singles match. I didnt put it on till I was at the court. Long story short - I beat this guy that I rarely beat, My leg felt secure and maybe the padding allowed my leg to sink in enough that it didn't bother me. So I would recomend this for active sports rather than just walking or as a daily brace. But give it a good workout before you send it back.

I suffer with severe OA in my left knee. I wanted to hold off on a knee replacement but needed something to keep my knee stable. After a lot of comparisons I decided on the Shock Doctor Bio Logic knee brace. This was the best purchase I've made to date on Amazon. I have no more knee pain and it fits like a glove. So taking time to get correct measurement is very important. I had to give 5 stars.

So I have a very bad knee that does not stick together. Anytime I do any motion that goes side to side my knee totally gives out and down I go. So I decided to try the Bio-Logix knee brace by Shock Doctor. I was very excited to get it because I had read this would work for individual who have the lateral knee issues just like mine. When I opened the box the brace looks like a transformers piece of hardware.... which I like.. hahaha It looks cool, but it feels a bit bulky for me. I'm only 5' 5" so it felt bulky on my shorter leg. I bet if you have long slender legs (which is what I think this thing is modeled for) this would fit perfect. My legs aren't big or anything but when I put this on, I had to strap it as tight as I could, and when I would walk around it would slip down. I couldn't stop this from happening. I chose the correct size according to my knee but the way it is shaped, it seems to be designed for a mans leg.... or someone who is more boney structured then myself. Not sure. Anyway, I can see that it would keep good alignment and probably stop the issue of the knee coming apart with side motion, but it hurt my knee. There was a lot of pressure on the right side of my knee at the joint, I tried adjusting it according to instructions but again this didn't fit my leg well. The knee size was correct, but the shape of my leg didn't fit well with the shape of the brace. It has more of a molded shape, which is why it is leg specific to right or left. I'm sure this would be a great brace for someone taller, with long slender leg structure, like shown in the picture. One more point, it does have fluid motion in the brace joints which was cool, but it also feels like you can't fully extend your leg as well as not being able to fully bend it either. I need something that feels less bulky, and has more range of motion.

Producto: Es muy rígido. Medí la. Ir inferencia de mi rodilla después de la lesión que tuve (hiper extensión de ligamentos) y la rodillera que me correspondería sería la talla media. Ordené la grande porque era la única en existencia y aún así me lastimaba. La rodillera es específica para el lado izquierdo o derecho, lo cual implica que tiene una forma especial. Si tu rodilla no se amolda a esa forma, dada la rigidez de la rodillera, entonces puede llegar a lastimar (mi caso). Otro con es que Es muy voluminosa. Se debe usar un pantalón muy holgado para poderla usar durante el día. A pesar del anuncio, no la recomiendo usar para actividades deportivas a menos que la rodilla se amolde a la perfección a esa forma, de lo contrario produce ampollas.Envío: el producto llego rápido, pero no parecía nuevo. La funda de tela elástica no olía a nuevo y la rodillera se veía un poco gastada del plástico. La caja de cartón estaba maltratada.Conclusión: devolví el producto y no pienso volver a adquirirlo.

I bought it for injury prevention for skiing and skating. It definitely reduces the chance of over extension or flexion or lateral injury to the collateral ligaments. It also off loads the stress on the quads and likely reduce the chance of developing tendonitis or arthritis. Having said these good things about this brace, it is not very comfortabe to wear but I did get use to it. I do not think you can wear it for daily activity or contact sports. For skiing, because your focus is on the slope all the time, you really do not feel it. However, once you finish the activities, I suggest you take it off as soon as possible because of the reason I menetioned above.

The support to the knee was so good that my knee instantly felt great again, compared to the hinged knee brace i was using, which did not really give the support i needed for my knee. After using the SD Knee brace, i felt my knee was back to post op time and i could run again without fearing that my knee will give way suddenly and make have a fall.

The knee brace is solid and good quality. I'm using this for my badminton games since my knee started to hurt before this.It has a slight rigidness and it gives me more confidence during my play.May need to get used to your friends saying it looks like a bionic leg.
