Who the Tynor Lumbar Sacral Support Belt for Lower Back Pain is for

Buy it if: Anyone with acute lower back strain who needs support for part of the day.

Avoid it if: Anyone looking for a permanent solution -- continuous wear weakens the core muscles it replaces.

Who the Vissco Functional Hinged Knee Support with Adjustable Range of Motion is for

Buy it if: Anyone with ligament instability or recovering from a knee injury who needs lateral support.

Avoid it if: Anyone with simple arthritic ache -- a plain elastic knee cap costs a third as much and does the same thing.
