What's Included?
Who Can Make Gains With The Ultimate Performance Hinged Knee Brace?
Instability can be a serious hamper to your performance. Not being able to properly stabilise your knees can lead to a poor stride and in some cases, a bad turn which can bench you for a lot longer than you'd like.
The knee brace provides the stability and strength unstable knees need, helping you perform at your very best every time. It's also great for use after injury. helping you keep your knee stable to aid recovery while still staying active. By providing a very high level of support, the hinged knee brace is ideal for helping with weak or unstable knees as well as arthritis.
How Does the Ultimate Performance Hinged Knee Brace Work?
The Ultimate Performance Hinged Knee Brace uses twin strap sets located above and below the patella and dual tri-axial hinges located on either side of the brace to centralise the joint. This helps prevent hyperextension by compressing the weak ligaments and muscles that surround the knee.
How Do Tri-Axial Hinges Work to Support the Knee?
Tri-axial hinges located on either side of the brace are 255mm in length, running from the top all the way to the bottom of the brace. They are included to track the movement of the knee when in motion, providing stability and ensuring that fatigued, loose ligaments and tendons do not prevent you maximising your performance.
What Size Brace Should I Choose?
To find the right fit for you, you must first measure the circumference of your kneecap using a fabric tape measure. To do this correctly, measure the circumference across the centre of the kneecap using the image below as a guide before consulting the sizing table below with your measurement.
| Size of Knee Brace | Circumference Over Knee Cap (cm) |
| Small | 30 - 35cm |
| Medium | 35 - 40cm |
| Large | 40 - 45cm |
| Extra Large | 45 - 50cm |
| XX-Large | 50 - 55cm |
| XXX-Large | 55 - 60cm |
| XXXX-Large | 60 - 65cm |
Why Do I Need To Measure My Kneecap?
Measuring the circumference of your kneecap is a vital step that takes the guess work out of sizing. We are all about making sure each and every brace fits correctly, provides an optimal level of support and doesn't squeeze too tightly on your leg.
Should I Select One Size Larger?
We believe that if our above sizing guidance is followed, your brace should fit perfectly. Due to the twin strap and tight-fitting fabric design of the Ultimate Performance Hinged Brace, selecting the correct size for you and tailoring the tightness of your brace to suit your condition could not be easier.
What If I Fall On a Sizing Boundary?
If your kneecap measurement falls on a sizing boundary (for example if your kneecap circumference measured 45cm), our product experts recommend you select the larger of the two sizes. This ensures you get a brace that fits whilst preventing irritation, circulation and blood-flow restriction issues.
How Compressive Is the Ultimate Performance Hinged Knee Brace?
The Ultimate Performance Knee Brace fits close to the leg, encouraging blood flow to the knee in order to promote rehabilitation. This close fit is what enhances support by stopping tired and worn out ligaments drifting further and further away from your kneecap.
Designed for Performance
A fully tailored design helps the knee brace improve comfort and fit behind the knee to help you focus on your game, while two adjustable straps ensure you get a firm and customised fit with accurate location of the hinges for the best effect possible.
What's more, the design of the tri-axial hinge ensures protection from hyper-extension without reducing mobility and the patella buttress improves patella tracking, keeping your knee safe and stable.
