Hello. Has anyone used or tried a Swedish knee cage? My knee hyper extends backwards, I’ve tried a leg splint, and now looking at the knee brace. Would be handy if I can talk to anyone who has experience of buying/using one. Thanks, Dawn.
I used one a few years ago and it totally sorted the problem after a year or two, and no longer need to wear it. It is dead easy to wear and perfectly comfortable, so a thumbs up from me.
Make sure you get the “fixed” type though, as I heard bad reports concerning the “hinged” one.

Thanks Derek. It says you need to measure thigh to get the right size. Where on thigh do you measure-just above knee?
According to the site they say four inches above the knee and that’s pretty much how I remember getting measured up. I am sure they will confirm the correct position, if you send them a mail.
I hope you find it works for you, because once those ligaments are stretched, they don’t recover.
