I ordered this knee guard to have support for arthritic knees. I wanted something that wasn't going to create a lot of sweat like the neoprene knee wraps do. It works. It's amazing that you can put this thing on and suddenly your knees stop clicking and you feel support. I have a couple of issues with the Kneed-It however. One is that it is hard to place the Kneed-It in the right spot. You think you have it on, and tighten it as much as you can, but then the guard slips down and out of place. So I've yet been able to locate it and tighten it on the first try. Because of this difficulty in locating the guard, I had to recommend that a friend NOT buy the guard because her knees are slightly misshapen from arthritis and it would be almost impossible for her to get the guard on and keep it in place. The second issue I have is that with the pressure you have to exert to tighten the guard enough, the little plastic brackets that hold the strap are not strong enough. Within a week, one had snapped off. The foam padding also slides out of place and if it does, the velcro strap can really dig into the back of your leg. Given that everything is in place and tightened enough, these guards work wonders. I think however, more work needs doing on the design and the durabiity of the product.

I was skeptical, but chose to try. It was easy to fit. All I had to do was to position the padded front piece directly below my patella, then pull the strap around my leg -- sliding the rear padding until t was centered across the back of my knee joint -- then finish by threading the strap through the slot on the right side of the front piece. As for the amount of tension - I found that by making it quite snug, there was no slipping or chafing and I got the most relief from minor knee discomfort. It was comfortable and did not cause any circulation issues. Stairs are ok again.

With a variety of tears and flaps, and now micro splnters in the knee bone......not sure if this really helps.
When one tries to make the 'best' of this kind of situation, it's worth a try
