The mistake almost everyone makes here is sizing, not brand: the belt is sized on waist circumference and people order to their trouser size, which is measured lower on the hip and typically two inches larger.
Full details →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.
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.
