Best Knee Brace
Well, I have been working on my tantrums and landed wrong and now am suffering from Grade 2 MCL sprain in knee. So, my question, what is a good knee brace to wear when I'm back wakeboarding?
Thanks |
CTI or Don Bregg from what I have read. I to have an MCL strain. FYI, my medical insurance did not cover sports braces. I am still appealing the insurance.

CTi is the best in my opinion....after 2 blown ACLs in the same knee, I got a CTi and haven't suffered a traumatic knee injury since (6 years now - knock on wood).
|
I'll 3rd a cti. go custom if you can afford to.
|
they're made by ossur now if you're searching for them.
|
Kat: What CTi model do you have?
|
I had knee surgey over the winter. Torn ACL. I have a custom CTI brace that I love. They dry quick and offer great protection.
|
They don't offer mine any longer, Audrey...it is a CTi Aspire. Today it would be the Pro Sport model!
|
Thanks for all help. I ended up with a Donjoy Fource Point Brace. It was in my price range.
Doc says I"m healing very well at my post 1 week. Still got 3 more weeks till I board again. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!! |
Audrey - Stop rubbing it in that you can ride again in 3 more weeks! ;-D I'm still months away - my sad face... :-( Glad you are recovering nicely!
|
Kat: I have no clue how your not going insane not wakeboarding! These past 2 weeks just sititng on the boat and watching others has been tense!!!! My knee is stiff but I can feel the progress, but don't want to rush it, so I probably need to wait at least till Aug. 7th to ride. All I want to do is try some 3's!!!!! :) I would like to nail one with the handle soon ;)
Hang in there Kat! |

I've been in a CTI for two years. I'm in the water with it three times a week, its not holding up well. The straps and hardware are weak, expect to rebuild if your behind the boat regularly.
|
Update: My DonJoy works great in the water! Only complaint....once in a while the velcro comes loose on one of the pieces, but I just put it back. It doesn't happen often and no biggie. I love my DonJoy and would definetly buy another one!
