Vive Hinged Knee Brace Review – Read Before you Buy

If you are considering purchasing the Vive Hinged Knee Brace, we recommend reading this review before you commit.

The Vive Hinged Knee Brace is a versatile knee support that can be used to nurse your knee through rehabilitation periods. With it’s hinged design, it provides much-needed support to weak and arthritic knees. It also allows sporty enthusiasts to participate in exercise and sports with the material’s breathable and wicking properties.

But is the Vive the best knee brace for your personal circumstances? We explore this question further as well as give you a detailed look into the mechanics of the knee brace.

Is the Vive Hinged Knee Brace right for you?

At the Best Knee Braces, when it comes to purchasing a knee brace, we always advise you step yourself through a process of predetermined questions to ensure you are making the right decision.

These questions are:

What activities are you planning on using the knee brace for? As we mentioned above, the Vive Knee Brace is a versatile support aid. It can be used to support injury rehabilitation and exercise, general day-to-day activities and much more. It is however, a hinged brace which means it is bulkier and more structured than your lightweight knee supports (like sleeves and wraps). This may impact on your ability to wear the brace during exercise and sport.
What type of pain are you experiencing? The Vive has a unique patella support design. This is perfect for those that are experiencing pain around the knee cap or patella tendonitis. The hinge also provides support for side knee pain and general overall knee support. However, individuals who have pain in the back area of the knee may find they are not receiving the support and pain relief they are seeking.
Do you have sensitive skin? Even with a breathable material with wicking properties, users of the knee brace have reported skin irritations while wearing the knee brace. It is for this reason we recommend you perform some additional research on the materials your skin can tolerate.

By pausing and taking the time to honestly answer the above questions, you can form a clear idea of the type of support you are actually looking for. It may also save you time, effort and money in the longer term with expenses incurred and time spent making product returns.

Vive Hinged Knee Brace – The Run Down

If you have run through the above set of questions and believe the Vive hinged knee brace still caters to your needs, then let’s take a closer look at the features you can expect from this functional knee brace. The Vive Hinged Knee Brace is a versatile support aid that can be used for a variety of rehabilitative purposes.

The Vive sports a unique design that allows for personalized adjustable straps so you can fit the device according to your needs and requirements. It even allows you to remove support hinges all together, providing a truly customized experience.

It is made out of a neoprene material that possesses natural wicking properties. We rate this as a must-have feature in any knee brace, as it helps to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the brace. Vive also claim the neoprene knee brace is breathable and maintains a dry feel, even if the brace is worn day and night. Ultimately this means you can wear the knee all day and night without having to remove the brace to air your skin.

With the proper maintenance and care, you will be sure to enjoy the support from this hinged brace for years to come.
