Yes, you may wear it comfortably under your clothes with very little discomfort while walking or sitting on a chair. However, It does put in some limitations when you bend all the way down which is kind of normal with any type of solid back brace.

More or less. I wear two braces, I put them both on each night. You can get used to it. The alternative is not having any brace at all, and suffering pain.

The brace provides good support. However, if you lift heavy objects, it is important to watch your posture and lifting habits to avoid any injuries.

This is just a small band that fits under the knee. It isn't a brace. I am very heavy and like this type of band because it has a long Velcro strap that will fit anybody.

The brace will make your knee stronger in the sense that it will support it - which is a very good thing when it comes to knee arthritis. It won't however, make your knee muscles any stronger - for that you'll need knee exercises.

Hi John,I am not sure if this brace can be use for jogging. I got the brace for my father, without a brace he cannot walk, he will have to be on a wheelchair. He still has not used it since I still have it with me, but he has used other brace and the work fine for jogging. I hope this helps you.

I only use this brace when I'm exercising. If I sit on my legs, they do cut off the circulation as well as sitting for a long time in a chair. If I'm going to take a break from exercising, I usually will pull them down so that the bottom of the brace sits on the ankle and when I'm ready to start either hiking or playing tennis I just pull them back into place. I love this brace, one of the best I've ever worn.

It should, it's stretchy & wraps freely . However, my grandpa used it everyday & the fastening tabs wore out. He is 86 & runs a cattle farm so everyday use was a must. We are in the process of either buying another brace or using velcro. He loved it, but his everyday use wore it out. Not trying to deter you from the purchase but wanted you to be aware about the fastening wear.

I agree with T.K.; it's great. Mine continued to stretch out for awhile, so I'd recommend marking the brace height and checking it every once in awhile.

Yes I use this brace to run but it didn't last long before it lost it's elasticity.

Knee brace is great for strenuous activities ... gym, skiing, etc. It does restrict some knee movement but not too much of a problem. My opinion ... for runners, this brace will be a burden. It will throw the runner off balance for one; secondly, the brace will have the nasty habit of sliding down from the knee. I know the second problem firshand for it affected my skiing. The runners up and down action will definitely shift the brace requiring frequent adjustments upward. You can always tighten the velcro straps super tight but that will restrict blood flow and eventually cramping. Only my opinion! And yes, as you said, it is rock solid and its flexibility is somewhat restrictive.

I've been wearing mine continuously for weeks and have only noticed a little discomfort when my knee is fully bent (e.g. sitting cross legged). Since my knee is a little loose now after I injured it, I wouldn't be able to run. Having said that, my only concern is that your knee will probably get really warm while wearing the brace and running.

I don't think so. I have not tried this but it is not that long, so I believe you need something else. This one is good for daily activities, allows your hand a good deal of flexibility. Futuro carries a brace specially designed for that, though. My step mom has one and she really likes it. Hope this helps.

To answer your question - yes. This is a fabulous brace. I were them because I snap my wrists when using weight. This keeps my wrist in place with a metal bar that goes from top to bottom - but very comfortable.

You will have the full range of motion. This brace is more for side to side support.
