does this support your knee giving out when pushing off?

It does support the knee well. Have found that wearing compression pants under the brace reduces irritation from the heat build up between the skin and the neoprene.

There is support with this brace. When I wear it my knee doesn't "pop" like it does when I am not using a brace. I do believe it does give the support needed from a sitting to standing position. If you need a lot of support then a hinged brace might work better to keep your knee stabilized.

ASK Your Doctor. My guess is NO. I have seen inversion 'chairs' that tip you back in a more sitting position with bent knees that may be acceptable to you doctor.

It support the knee well when I have to get up and down. I don't feel pain unless I have to put weight on my knees. So I really don't think it's going to help much with the pain. It does keep the knees nice and warm.

I would think not. there is a different material underneath. I would not suggest wearing a knee brace/support other then it's original intention.

Yes, this is the kneeling version. As you know, there is a standing version that can be seen in the catalogues. I cannot attest to the stability of that version. I prefer the kneeling one, and use it on my bed. They recommend a floor position, but I can't get back up again if I try to do it low-down. I am VERY comfortable with it's stability on the bed, and actually feel quite safe, as I can't fall off ! Yes, one approaches the stretching position from a kneeling stance, leaning into the gadget, then over the frame, to stretch. It is easy on the knees, especially when used on the bed, which the inversion tables are not. I couldn't use the inversions table because of the strain on my knees. There is no knee strain with this machine. : )

Yes. The upper support bar of the ladder then becomes somewhat knee high (at least for me a woman 5'5") - but I find that feeling that bar against my legs helps me feel more secure until I proceed down a step and can hold the support bar again. This is why I like the ladder so much better than a regular style 2 or 3 or 4 step "step ladder." Just love this ladder!

No, it's very tiny and low to the ground. We gave it to our 2 year old granddaughter, and she pushes it while on her knees!

It's very supportive. I have used this while lying on my side for support, it stays put. My main purpose was to have under my knees, I'm a back sleeper.

Yes it does. I am usually mobile, but for those times I need to rest, and be pushed, this is perfect. The seat is kind of hard, tho. I only weigh 115.

I didn't get it because of any surgery....I got it because I have knee problems and I didn't want to have to bend my knees so much. I can't really answer. When I had knee surgery, I had portable with rails to help push up with...never having had tummy tuck, I can't really advise. Hope it goes well.!

No, this knee brace is closed all around from top to bottom, except for the knee cap opening. Good for support, but quite confining when one needs to have feet on floor , as in sitting position. And although this design is really good for support, it is hot to wear, especially in hot weather or when very active for long periods of time, and it does chaff a bit even with a hose type sleeve under it. Based on your description for use, probably would not want this particular design. Regards.

My wife was just getting on it when I read this question. She tried it and it worked. She said it is harder on the knees though.

yes...I have used it for gardening in the rain, at the gym and it stays in place and holds my knee the same...

Not really it will push you back upright unless you keep your weight on the back of the chair or hold yourself back with your feet.

Hi Anne, I can't really give any medical diagnosis about the support that this brace gives, but simply a testimony of my situation. I had lateral meniscus surgery back in 1977 (the old way before arthroscopic was available). After 35 years, there is simply nothing left to cushion my knee joint. The brace helps prevent some of the looseness and grinding that takes place when I run or ride my bike. It is really tight, provides good side to side and twisting resistance, and does a lot to ease my pain. It is a tight fit - and it is pretty warm to wear, but I find it is very helpful and gives me the ability to participate in activities for a few more years before replacement therapy is going to be necessary. I hope this helps!

I don't know about clicking knees but it helped with keeping my knee stable.

Pull it up until the center of the knee exit the circle opening. I use it for my physical therapy for walking all the time, while recovering from a stroke. Works great for me to help stabilize my knee while exercising. Good investment.
