How To Measure For A Knee Brace

    Wearing a knee brace that suits you is the key to protecting your injured knee. How do you get the correct size? You need to put the measuring tool in the correct position and measure the knee with the leg upright, and then refer to the size chart to select the bracket that suits you based on the measurement result. Below we will introduce how to choose a measuring tool, how to measure the size of the leg, and how to choose a brace that suits you based on the measured data. How to measure for knee brace? You only need three steps.

Step 1: Choose the right tool

    The ruler is relatively hard, and when measuring the leg, it cannot be accurately measured due to the curve of the leg. To ensure that we get the most accurate measurement results possible, we can use a soft tape measure, which is used by most craft shops, sewing shops, and large shops.

    However, if you don't have a soft tape measure, we can replace it with other tools. For example, a rope, a roll of tape, or even a mobile phone charging cable can be measured with a ruler or tape measure after the measurement. In this way, you can also obtain more accurate measurement tools indirectly.

Step 2: Measure your legs and knees

    Place the end of the soft tape measure on the center of the knee, then wrap the tape measure around the knee, passing through the widest point, until the tape measure returns to the end of the tape measure, read the measurement at the position where the soft tape meets, and Make a note of your measurement results.

    To measure the leg size correctly, you should be standing and in a standing position with your knees bent about 30 degrees so that you can easily and accurately measure your knees and legs. If you cannot stand because of knee pain and your knees cannot be bent, you can also sit and measure, you can find someone to help you measure, or you can measure yourself, but try to keep your legs straight. When measuring, please make sure that measuring tools such as tape is flush with the skin to obtain accurate data.

    We already know how to measure the legs, but knowing where to measure them is also very important. We need to measure not only the knee but also the top and bottom of the knee about 6 inches from the center of the knee. Since most knee barces manufacturers measure in inches, please try not to use centimeters when recording these data.

It is also important to note that if your knee is currently suffering from inflammation or knee joint swelling, please reduce the swelling before the measurement so that you can obtain accurate measurement results so that you can choose the right knee pad size.

Step 3: Select the appropriate size

Look up the size table

    Different knee braces manufacturers have different size tables and size ranges. No matter what type of knee brace you use, you need to choose the model that suits you according to the size chart of the product. You can get the size chart directly from the salesperson, or you can find the same knee pads online to get the size chart.

Choose the size corresponding to your measured value

    Usually, knee pads are available in small, medium, large and extra-large. You can find the right size based on the measured data.

Choose the larger one in two sizes

    If your size is between 2 sizes, choose the larger size. Because if you choose a smaller size, your knees will be over-tightened, which will cause blood flow and hinder blood circulation. The large-sized knee braces will make your knees less tight so that the large-sized knee pads will be more suitable for you.
