User questions & answers

Question:	Made in China
Answer:	Yes it is.
Question:	My knee is 19" but 4" above center knee is 29" what size should I get
Answer:	Hi LoveLoveLove!! Thanks for asking because many times the thigh measurement becomes the more critical one over the knee, especially in cases where there is such a significant difference. Our best recommendation is to order the XXL. The strap that goes around the thigh will be tight and it might be too tight for you, in which case, you can simply return it back to Amazon for a refund. The strap that goes around the actual knee might be a bit too long and you will simply need to attach it the other side of the opening - so the knee hole might be covered with neoprene which shouldn't be an issue. There is no problem if you order this and it just doesn't work as Amazon makes returns easy. Hope this helps!
Question:	Does this brace prevent lateral patella movement? (like the J braces
Answer:	Our TechWare Pro Knee Brace is not specifically a J brace but it has been designed to provide help in stabilizing the patella. What sets our product apart is the bi-directional strap system that provides even support around the patella. With most knee supports all the straps come from one direction causing an uneven pull either to the right or left which is not conducive to stabilizing the patella. With ours we have two straps supporting one direction and another strap comes from the opposite direction. This makes for more uniform compression and tension around the patella and can make a difference in preventing further injury while also helping to minimize knee pain. Also if you compare prices to J braces, we are considerably less. It might be worth trying.
Question:	How small will this adjust
Answer:	Thanks for asking. The determining factor for how small it can be adjusted is actually based on the middle strap - not the two outer straps. There has to be enough velcro to hold the middle strap in place and because of the shape of the middle strap, it can only be pulled so far thru the opening of the two outer straps before it bunches up. So with the most minimal acceptable amount of velcro holding the middle strap closed - and with no bunching - the circumference measured is 12 inches. Keep in mind, this would mean that some of the velcro (hook side) would actually be laying over the exposed knee hole. If no other person would be using the knee support, the extra velcro could be cut off so that it does not cover the knee hole. Also keep in mind that this measurement of 12 inches is not under tension. So if the knee in question is smaller than 12 inches, the knee brace will most likely slide down the leg. As always, if you make the purchase and the knee support doesn't meet your needs, you can simply return it. Hopefully I have explained this well.

User questions & answers

Question:	To Supplier: In case the brace is too large or too small, etc what is the return policy including return shipping costs? Thank you
Answer:	It doesn't limit any natural movements of the knee so should work for any activity.
Question:	How do you determine your size
Answer:	No its not open but there is mesh panel back there to help vent the back of the knee and to help prevent pinching. Just remember that the sizing chart is off. That is to say if your knee measurement says you should have an XL and the measurement is towards the top end of an XL, get the 2XL.
Question:	My knee measures 17" in the center around patella and 19" 2 inches above center of patella . I do not like very tight brace What size should I buy
Answer:	Unfortunately, 2XL is the largest that Shock Doctor offers at this time.
Question:	How long is this? How far below the knee does it go
Answer:	It was Model "Knesupp-siz" 872
