Re: Cho Pat Dual Action Knee Strap

[Guest guest]

Yes, I have tried Cho Pat. Fairly useless. Bulky too.

I have found the very best to be GenuTrain P3 Knee Support.

I bought them in Europe and they're very good. You can order them online in

the U.S. and they're much cheaper than in Europe. I have terrible chondro

and I can downhill ski in these.

Cho Pat Dual Action Knee Strap

Has anyone out there tried these braces for chondromalacia and if so

did it help your condition? I have had chondromalacia on and off for

years. I am very active and when the condition comes back , I do a lot

of strengthening and stretch PT and seem to calm if down to the point

where I can go quite some time (year or more) without a problem

but...it comes back again and I need to rerpeat the process. I saw a

guy in my health club wearing these straps and he tells me it works for

him. Just wondering if anyone else has some insight before I buy a pair.

I am active, fifty, and like to run, cycle, elliptical and pool

run/swim.

Thank you

I have the thin straps that go below the knee, and they make me worse.

I just searched for the GenuTrain P3 Knee Support on Ebay and there is

an auction starting at 99 cents! It's too big for me but someone

should get it:

One caution with this product. I had a lot of luck with any product that

provided compression to keep swelling down in the knee region. With compression

that only was applied in the knee region, I began to have swelling in my ankles.

The best luck I have had so far is the Jobst thigh high compression sock. The

best price I find now is $42 at Walgreens online. I realize this product claims

no knee support. I did have a limited amount of luck with a straight pat strap.
