 knee supportJan 25, 2010
I have a circulation problem in one knee, and it really helps my knee, especially when I go down stairs. It really makes a difference

 Try this firstAug 14, 2009
This may be one of the best inventions of modern non-surgical medicine. My wife has had a messed up knee for years. This product, which helps the patella stay where it's supposed to, has kept my wife from having to have knee surgery that may or may not help. Not a guaranteed miracle, but damn close, at least for us.
This was a gift...Jul 11, 2009
I bought this as a gift and from what I can tell, it was appreciated and what she wanted. Don't know how well it is serving its purpose, but imagine that it is doing a good job. Rating it with stars is not really applicable, but I had to in order to submit it.

very effectiveMay 10, 2009
This has helped me tremendously, I am back to running again!
Only fault is the material is a little abrasive on the back of the knee if the velcro is not lined up flush when fastening. Otherwise great.

 Very well made, but not comfortableFeb 01, 2009
My old "cho-pat" straps were getting worn out, so I ordered a new pair of this product. The product is well made -- it's high quality ballistic nylon and it had nice leather patches to keep the loops (where the strap goes) from being directly on the skin. Unfortunately, it was not very comfortable to wear. The sharp part of the velcro on the edge of the strap would make contact with my skin and scratch it. If the velcro part was made narrower than the rest of the strap, it would be much more comfortable. I ended up attaching the velcro end with a ridge in the middle (I sort of squeezed it before I attached it to the strap so that instead of the velco part laying flat on the strap it had a ridge in the middle of it; this had the effect of making the velcro par of the stap narrower so the edge would not contact my skin). This made it more comfortable, but it wouldn't attach as well.
Another thing I noticed is that the old pair of straps I used had a little bit of give to them -- they were made of a foam sort of fabric which had just a little elasticity. These straps have no elasticity whatsoever, and so it was hard to get them tight and they tended to fall down from the knee a little (maybe an inch) over the course of the day.
