Worked well for me but the velcro on 1 and 2 failed after only 5 months. This should be redesigned with straps so that 1 and 2 stay in place longer.
- Fantastic product

This is the first brace that is relieving my pain and NOT creating pressure sore areas when being worn. I use it for hiking and playing with my grandkids. If you're active then this is a great brace for OA pain.
- Helps my OA pain

I have a large shape and couldn't fit into other braces made from metal so I ordered this after talking to the customer staff there. I received it and have been using the Impulse now for a month. My knee doesn't give out on me anymore and I can walk with less pain too. The adjustable hinge has been nice too - I turn it up when I need more torquing on days when my knee feels sore and I turn it down on days when my knee feels good. Thank you for all of the help with choosing this OA Impulse!
- Fits well

Bought the large, medial on the advice of my friend who's an orthopedic doctor. It seems like it's very good quality.S till experimenting around with the unloading from the hinge but definitely makes my knee feel better when I'm climbing stairs.
- Very Good
-
Wanted a good brace without spending a lot for it. It's lightweight and comfortable. I wear it 4-5 days a week and it relieves the pain on the inside of my knee very well.
