Max Knee Single Strap

I have some non-specific pain/ache in my left knee, probably due to overuse/runner's knee or just age [I'm an older guy]. My knee responds well to an "Ace" bandage wrap, so I wanted to try something more convenient. So, I ordered this Mueller "Max Knee Strap" as well as the Mueller "moderate" Elastic Knee Brace [size LG/XL], both from Amazon. Both knee braces provide enough compression and/or stability to relieve my pain. However, this one-size-fits-all Max Knee Strap has more adjustment above the knee, so it is more comfortable to wear throughout the day. My thigh, at 2 inches above the knee, measures about 21 inches, which is fine for this Max Knee Strap, but at the extreme limit for Mueller's Elastic Knee Brace. I don't use this Knee Strap while actually exercising [I've taken up rowing on a Concept2 Model D] because I don't need the support for that activity. But, I've been using this both before and after, with great results [minimal or no knee pain]. A good product that works well, and it's a snap [or a velcro pull] to put on or take off, or adjust. EDITED, Oct 2018: I've had the "one size" Max Knee Strap for about 5 years now--still works great--and just now got the "Large/X-Large" size [so I'd have an extra as a back-up]. Comparing them side-by-side, the original "one size" and the current "Large/X-Large" are identical in every dimension, and also identical in materials, construction, stitching, etc. So, unless you need/want the "Small/Medium," suggest you get the cheaper of the "One Size" and the "Large/X-Large."

Excellent knee brace by Mueller, have used several diff brands and style of knee brace to keep my patella in place and none works as well as Mueller. Knee locks more and more frequently over the yrs due to worn out cartlidge and this brace helps keeps it in place. And this helps avoid surgery as well which is not an option at all. This helps stablize and supports the kneecap and reliefs the soreness, stiffness from over extension of the kneecap esp up and down stairways. I had tried those neoprene elastic knee sleeve for a month or so of which I cannot recommend which had no support at all and is like a semi-tight nylon legging and more expensive. Returned them for a refunded and will use Mueller from now on. The velcro strap is adjustable which is idea for tightening more or less for the knee support when needed and doesn't hinder movement. Recommend for good support and keeps patella from moving.

Let me start by saying I have Runner's Knee. In other words, my knees hurt at time when running or exercising and the doctors have no idea why. So I started wearing a different Mueller brace in order to run and provide a prophylactic to me knees. They worked great, but I've been hoping to find a less obtrusive brace that only covers the problem areas. So I bought the Mueller Max Knee Strap. In fact, I bought one for each knee. I've only been walking around the house with one of the two identical braces I bought. It's easy to put on, instructions are clear and accompany the product. However, with just walking around the house with the brace on, the top of the brace slips down. Granted, above my knees have fat, and it might (probably) be that because above my knee is wider than below, the strap slips down. I will readjust and go running this weekend and update my review after. No stars taken off for the slipping... yet. What really bothers me are the seams on either side of the fabric on the back of the brace. It feels like there are burrs in the brace, rubbing me raw. Very annoying and uncomfortable. The only thing I can think is that this brace is made for people that use it over their clothes, or perhaps people that don't have sensitive skin. I'm going to try to find a workaround for the rubbing, like putting a sleeve on underneath the brace, but really, that shouldn't have to happen. My other Mueller brace was awesome, but quite a bit more bulky as it covered half my thigh down to the top of my calf, which I why I bought two of these less obtrusive ones. I loved Mueller until this. :( Sigh... Back to the drawing board. Edit July 25, 2016: I went on a 5 mile run and the brace didn't scratch or bother me. It also didn't fall down and the only adjustments I had to make were in the first few minutes of the run. I ended up placing athletic wrap on each vertical seam (two on each brace), and that seemed to help a lot. The only time I noticed some scratching from the seams/elastic was before the run when I was walking around. So I upped my star rating from 2-stars to 4-stars. I'm not giving it 5-stars because I still have to insert the athletic tape due to the irritation from the seams. Perhaps once the braces get broken in the scratching will cease. PS I bought my husband the same braces (yes, we have 4 total now), and he also has the scratching issue, though seemingly not as much as I do. Maybe all the hair on the back of his knees provides somewhat of a barrier. hahaha

I love this. It is very comfortable and supportive on my knee.Thankyou

I had a lot of knee pain from playing pickleball and this has helped a lot when I play sports.

I’m a regular runner with common knee issue. After putting on Muller Knee Strap it helps to reduce the pain when running. It holds on well and feels very comfortable unlike some other knee guard that is too bulky and restrict the movement.

Non soddisfatta Dopo poco si è allentato, la chiusura a strap non tiene e tende ad aprirsi durante il movimento.

Best to start off at medium tightness and then adjust 30 minutes or so later. I’m replacing 10-yr old ones which have finally started losing the side support tubes (patellar?). Top and bottom ones still ok.
