Product Description

Cho-Pat's newly patented Dual Action Knee Strap provides an extra dimension of relief for painful and weakened knees. The strap applies pressure upon the patellar tendon below the kneecap to stabilize and tighten up the kneecap mechanism, which improves patellar tracking and elevation and reduces patellar subluxation. It adds further strengthening to the kneecap mechanism by applying pressure on the tendon above the kneecap as well. This tends to reduce the forces of the quadriceps on the patella tendon and erosion of the undersurface of the kneecap due to a possible misalignment of the quadriceps (Q angle). The device's design and construction apply constant dynamic forces to the surrounding areas of the knee reducing the likelihood of overuse syndromes. At the same time, the strap allows for full mobility while providing maximum benefits. Sizing: Measure Circumference at Mid-Kneecap Note: If you are between sizes, we suggest you order the smaller size. For the Shin Splint Compression Sleeve and all the Knitted Compression devices, we suggest ordering a size larger.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good brace, provides support, October 11, 2010

This review is from: Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee Strap Medium 12" - 16" (Health and Beauty)

This brace did a good job providing support for my knee in a squash tournament, where I did a lot of lunging and lateral movement. After four surgeries on my knee (one of them an ACL repair), there is nothing short of a total knee replacement that can prevent swelling, however this Cho-pat did a good job in preventing further injury. The exposed knee area provides a little more mobility than a covered sleeve would, and the flexible straps are more forgiving than a hard brace. The reason for the 4 star rating instead of 5 is due to a little slipping down after perspiration. Minor readjustment was necessary from time to time.

I've already used one Cho-Pat knee brace on a week-long, rugged, 6500 vertical foot backpack trip into rugged mountain goat country to photograph --- mountain goats. I doubt I could have completed the trip without the brace on my bad left knee. I now own a 2nd brace for my right knee.

This knee strap is amazing. I'm on my feet all day at work and have knee problems. After wearing the cho-pat the pain in my knee was completely eliminated. The support from the cho-pat really takes the pressure off your knee. I was hesitate to buy it at first, but soooo glad I did. It really works!!!!
