Practical hinged knee support is extremely lightweight and recommended for post surgery or mild ligament injury, knee instability or degenerative joint disease. Ideal for walking or light athletic activities. Provides medial and lateral stabilization. Hinges are made of an ultra light space-age composite material that is strong and durable. Hinges include a stop to help prevent the knee from hyperextending. Unlike neoprene, material is breathable and cool with less bulk. Wrap style front closures and tension control straps. Measure thigh 4 to 5 inches above the center of kneecap. Measure calf 4 to 5 inches below the center of kneecap. If measurements differ slightly, use the thigh measurement.

If all you want is to prevent your knee from twisting, this will do nicely!!
I need something to prevent me from twisting my knee, as well as provide light support and stability for the medial collateral ligament as I run around on my job or work with my dog. This brace does the job, is lightweight and doesn't annoy the back of my knee. One that's truly comfortable against my skin will get the fifth star, however it doesn't exist yet and this one is not too bad. I prefer to wear a brace on the outside of my pants anyway, so I can remove it easily if I'm just sitting at a desk. The beige one was difficult to keep clean, so I'm now ordering the black one.5/19/17 updateI have used this brace off and on since that original review and have come to really love it. I have had to buy a couple different sizes over the years, but none of them have shown any malfunctions or problems with wear. They all stay up well if I tighten the straps hard enough, though they sometimes do need to be readjusted occasionally when wearing all day. I clean them with a brush or a lint roller. I just wish there was a version with ROM stops.
