Like this brace very much
I'm very pleased with the brace. My doctor recommended this brace for my arthritis. I got the push version. I can adjust the hinge for more or less effect which I like to have when my knee is aching more than usual.

Like the design
The hinge is easy to adjust by just sticking a quarter into its grooved slots. The hinge allows me to create a lot more offloading than in my other brace. It bows at the hinge as my knee bends, and I can feel it pushing on my knee. I have used Breg in the past from my doctor's office so I knew about the brand being very good.
Fits great and it's helping my knee
The fabric is soft against my skin and it breathes well. The adjustment knob on the hinge helps a lot as I can dial it up to create more offloading and on days when my knee feels good I can dial it back to reduce the thrust on my knee. I use it f ive days a week at work, and I like the fact that it also fits underneath all of my work pants.
Bledsoe brace customer
Worked well for me but the velcro on 1 and 2 failed after only 5 months. This should be redesigned with straps so that 1 and 2 stay in place longer.
Fantastic product
This is the first brace that is relieving my pain and NOT creating pressure sore areas when being worn. I use it for hiking and playing with my grandkids. If you're active then this is a great brace for OA pain.
Helps my OA pain
I have a large shape and couldn't fit into other braces made from metal so I ordered this after talking to the customer staff there. I received it and have been using the Impulse now for a month. My knee doesn't give out on me anymore and I can walk with less pain too. The adjustable hinge has been nice too - I turn it up when I need more torquing on days when my knee feels sore and I turn it down on days when my knee feels good. Thank you for all of the help with choosing this OA Impulse!
Fits well
Bought the large, medial on the advice of my friend who's an orthopedic doctor. It seems like it's very good quality.S till experimenting around with the unloading from the hinge but definitely makes my knee feel better when I'm climbing stairs.
Very Good
Wanted a good brace without spending a lot for it. It's lightweight and comfortable. I wear it 4-5 days a week and it relieves the pain on the inside of my knee very well.
