Can this be applied to the knee?

I don't think it would work well. It actually covers a largish area, so don't think the pads would adhere well.

I would say no. The (green) ends are pliable, but not enough to bend around a knee.

I tried it yo answer the question, not if you are going to move around. If you left leg in one position may work straight. Tried wrapping around and again if don't move but the pads don't fully adhere.

Although I use it for my back and arms, I believe you could apply it to your knee. it is likely you will have to put your leg upm and remain stationary while it is in use. Hope this is helpful and good luck!

I bought this for my mom, so I actually have not used it myself. It doesn't seem like it would work for the knee due to the design. The company has other products, maybe there is one designed for the knee. Jaime Thomas

The gel pack covers about one half the knee. It can be located where you want it.

yes,you'd be able to walk its just awkward and I've found it slighty strains my knee.I wasnt overly pleased with this purchase.It actually was too soft,I think,and I had to purchase a hard splint.Also,the velcro was becoming loose after just a short time of use!

I have no idea. I have only used it for me knees. Look on Kinesio's website for taping ideas or email them directly.

I believe it would be good for that. However, it depends on how severe your condition is. I have found that it keeps things in place very well and comfortably, and it kept my knee from hurting during physical activity. Also if you wear it during physical activity it will significantly reduce the chances of getting water on the knee, and n last a lot longer without fatigue or pain. If you find that you need to wear it all of the time, I would recommend seeing a doctor.

I have a larger leg circumference so that affects the surface area accomdoated. The contact points for me are just a bit to the outside of the knee cap itself. If you are experiencing pain directly on the knee cap or below it (i.e. shin area) this would likely cause a dilemma for you, otherwise you would be alright I would think.If it is in the area that would create a dilemma, (lamentably I have had pain there too!) I have used a standard ice pack with an ace bandage.Best of luck

My wife had a knee replacement two months ago and used it very day for the first couple of weeks and occasionally since. It can be fitted to some extent. She used it with her leg extended and it wrapped around the knee just fine. You'll like it. We also use it for backaches and anything that needs cold therapy. The white side is super cold. We usually place the blue side to the skin initially, then when it seems most of the cold has dissipated, we flip it over to the white side for another dose of cold.

Yes, this will completely wrap around your knee. I used it after my knee replacement and my knee was very swollen.

Most likely it would work. It can be placed for easy access, so you don't have to reach near any moving parts. It could be activated by knee, hip, etc. And it can be moved to other tools.

I don't really know if it will help your particular situation. I know that when I'm suffering from knee strain, it makes my knee feel snug and warm, which seems to lessen the discomfort over time. It's not a miracle cure, but it helps. Good luck to you!

I don't think so. This seat cushion is custom to the Knee Walker Seat. I hope this helps!

I don't see why it wouldn't work on a knee. It's flexible enough to bend around a knee but you might have to hold it in that position with your hand. I don't know if the velcro fastener would make it tight enough to stay in place.

I don't have knee pain myself, but page 18 of the Instruction Manual shows how to place the pads for knee treatment, so yes, the unit is designed to work for knee pain.

We use a cotton cloth (old t-shirt or sock) - Just as a previous answer listed, you are cleaning and applying at the same time. You will need a few pieces of cotton. Last year, we tried a cotton applicator on a handle (Brand name Bona) and that worked well - if you want to save your knees from hurting! We agree with the previous answers - no nylon, polyester or rayon cloth at all.

I don't think so -- it has quite a bit of glucosamine -- but I can't speak for your particular situation. It has strengthened my Newfoundland's knee joints a lot.

I would think it would be very helpful for a hip. It was a wonderful help for my knee!

I have no idea about that. I doubt it. Try Zyfalmend, which is sold thru Amazon at a very good price--cheaper than you can get at a Whole Foods, etc. store. Some folks have really good luck with Zyflamend and it was recommended to me through a well known herbalist. Look at the reviews for Zyflamend on Amazon--that is a good start. Good luck with that knee!
