To properly measure your knee for a knee brace, you'll need to measure the circumference of your thigh and calf at specific distances from your kneecap, according to the YouTube video on measuring for a DonJoy Knee Brace:
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Thigh Measurement:
- Locate a point six inches above the center of your kneecap.
- Measure the circumference of your thigh at this six-inch mark.
-
Calf Measurement:
- Locate a point six inches below the center of your kneecap.
- Measure the circumference of your calf at this six-inch mark.
These two measurements are crucial in determining the correct size of your knee brace. Be sure to check the sizing chart provided by the brace manufacturer, as sizing can vary between different brands and models.
