McDavid Knee Brace with Polycentric Hinges (429)
Product Description: The McDavid 429 Hinged Knee Brace benefits from using lightweight materials and design including aircraft grade aluminium gears that accommodate the natural gliding action of the knee. The hinges incorporates hyperextension stops to cushion and protect the knee (so you can't bent it backwards any further than straight) while the neoprene sleeve aids warmth retention which helps recovery from injury by keeping the muscles supple and flexible. The McDavid 429 Hinged Knee Brace features geared polycentric hinges on the inside (medial) and outside (lateral) of the knee to provide strong support to the knee joint. The hinges are a superior engineered design which makes it ideal for skiing and most sports. Geared means that if you were to bend one end of the hing towards you, the other end will move in as well, removing a lot of stress and strain on the knee joint as a whole, taking a lot of the weight through your knee. The McDavid 429 Hinged Knee Brace also features a fixed horseshoe shaped padded patella buttress which aids in kneecap tracking and helps relieve some symptoms of Chondromalacia, patellar subluxation and patellar tendonitis. The knee brace measures 30.5 cm in length. Suitable for either left or right leg. The McDavid 429 Hinged Knee Brace offers the ultimate level of protection and is a fantastic choice for those people looking for a knee brace or support for skiing or snowboarding. The McDavid 429 Hinged Knee Brace provides support for minor to moderate MCL, LCL and ACL ligament problems and instabilities as well as general support for older and worn out knees. Great advice is to always consider wearing two knee braces when skiing because a brace on one knee will stop any further damage but you then don't want to allow your "good" knee to become damaged as well.

The McDavid 429X provides a high level of support for damaged knees. I tore an ACL while downhill skiing back in the days before recreational athletes could routinely have knees reconstructed. I have had 3 scopes performed on that knee over the last 34 years and have gradually moved up the scale of support that my knee requires. After my last surgery, I got a prescription brace that is the same type as worn by NFL players. That one, while very supportive, is not always easily used for everyday activities. The McDavid 429X provides great support while being able to be worn for walking and other non-sports activities. It is the most supportive over-the-counter brace that I have used. When purchasing, make sure the model number is 429X. There are several similar model ...Ā MoreThe McDavid 429X provides a high level of support for damaged knees.

I tore the meniscus on the inside of my left knee. This was confirmed by an MRI. I had originally bought a brace at a department store, but it did not give me the support I needed and was uncomfortable. After doing my research, I bought this brace. It was a huge improvement. Very comfortable and a lot of support. I also felt that I had more knee bending flexibility.I needed to wear the brace for my job and keep it on for extended periods. After wearing it for 12 hours straight the first time, there were a couple of spots that the skin was starting to get sore. I ended up buying a simple compression sleeve that I put on first then put the McDavid brace on over it. After that, 12 hours was no problem. Very comfortable and a LOT LESS stress on my knee.This brace ...Ā MoreI tore the meniscus on the inside of my left knee. This was confirmed by an MRI.

Product is durable and sturdy, but lightweight. High quality materials, and the straps keep the brace in the right location for extended periods of time (My wife wears her brace as a nurse, for 12-hour shifts). The donut around the knee cap felt thinner than it looks (in a good way). Easy to wear underwear loose fitting pants.
I had to exchange for a larger size. I'm glad I did because I now have complete control over the fit and my knee feels much more supported with this proper fit. I'm new to the world of knee braces and I'm trying them to narrow down my issue so this is the 3rd brand I've tried and by far it's the best. I especially like that it fastens in the front. Back fastening-braces make it difficult to get a proper level of comfort and they tend to pinch or the velcro scratches if it's not attached perfectly, which is hard to do while working behind your knee! I'm really happy with this model, the construction is sturdy and it fastens quickly and comfortably. I think my measurement was 17" or 17.5" in diameter and 2xl fits beautifully.
Wow, what a fantastic brace.I play pickleball and was having knee problems, saw doctor was told can play but take it easy and wear brace. All I heard was can play, wearing my 429 McDavid brace played for five hours. Needless to say no knee pain whatsoever.If you need a brace this is the real deal and you will be surprised at the quality especially for the price. This will be the last knee brace you buy.What sold me on this brace was a review by a gentleman that played pickleball.
At this stage only used it twice for Table Tennis and Tennis and happy with the support.Feels a bit tight around the knee (large).X large would make it too loose.I reckon it will stretch a little bit and make it a bit more comfortable.
The Service I received from BodyHeal was excellent. They called me after I left my name and number providing real customer service. The McDavids Knee Brace 429X was a perfect fit. After having been through several previous knee operations with my right knee and then a total knee replacement I have had allot of experience with knee braces. I use to use Don Joy but after experiencing the McDavid's 429X on my left knee I am immediately ordering another model for the water. The quality of workmanship is superior and combined with BodyHeal's Customer service it was a win-win situation. I highly recommend both McDavid and Bodyheal...the win-win plan.
Iām addicted to the game of pickleball, and play it aggressively, so Iāve have had a few injuries; the latest being a āGrade 2, Medial Collateral Ligament Injuryā.I took a few weeks off to let it heal, and did much research to find the right hinged brace to give me the lateral support I need to protect my MCL from the cutting motions out on the courts; my pick ended up being the McDavis 429X.I opted for the X-Straps for the additional ligament support, and so that my kneecap would help hold the brace in place; after having played in it, Iām pleased to say that the brace stays in place, and does not shift.I measured my knee carefully to be sure I ordered the correct size brace, and the one I ordered fits my leg perfectly, though I think for my knee size, the ...Ā MoreIām addicted to the game of pickleball, and play it aggressively, so Iāve have had a few injuries; the latest being a āGrade 2, Medial Collateral Ligament Injuryā.I took a few weeks off to let it heal, and did much research to find the right hinged brace to give me the lateral support I need to protect my MCL from the cutting motions out on the courts; my pick ended up being the McDavis 429X.I opted for the X-Straps for the additional ligament support, and so that my kneecap would help hold the brace in place; after having played in it, Iām pleased to say that the brace stays in place, and does not shift.I measured my knee carefully to be sure I ordered the correct size brace, and the one I ordered fits my leg perfectly, though I think for my knee size, the X-Straps could have been a Ā½ā or so longer, but they do stay in place, so no issues there. I want to mention here, that if you use a cloth tape measure, be sure to lay it on top of a steel tape measure afterwards, to be sure the lengths are correct, as the cloth tapes tend to not be very accurate.On Thanksgiving Day, I went out to play some before dinner pickleball, but due to a lack of holiday players, I ended up playing 2Ā½ hours of full court/singles games, instead of the usual doubles matches. At first, I was worried that my knee would not be able to take the stress of playing singles games, due to all the lateral movements of playing full court, but I was quickly and pleasantly surprised to find that my knee brace was up to the task of giving me the protection I needed; that was the test that proved to me the value of this brace! While playing, I had no noticeable issues with movement; I ran around the court the same as I always did before my injury. Several hours after coming home, I noticed no serious pain or adverse effects from the singles games; wow! Needless to say, the brace works great on the doubles matches I normally play; my knee feels almost normal again!I do sweat a lot under the brace, though itās not too noticeable while playing in it; more of a noticing when I take it off. The brace doesnāt slide off as easily as it slides on, but itās not a problem either; it just takes a little more effort to get off. My skin was a tad raw after taking the brace off the first couple of times, so Iāve learned to rub a little hand lotion on my leg before and after wearing the brace, and that solved the problem.The bottom line: the 429X has performed much better than I thought it would; I am a happy camper!
I injured my knee and I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with it yet, won't have medical for a bit, but I've been suffering on and off for going on 2 months now. from the reading I've done I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the meniscus, but I could be very wrong. knee braces have seemed to help and I've been through a few of them- both simple elastic sleeves and hinged braces. some actually made it worse. my last hinged brace was from Mueller and while it helped a little bit in the beginning it wore out pretty quick. I debated on this brace for a while because of the cost but I took the splurge and for me it was completely worth it! I felt some relief in my knee which had been aching all day within minutes of putting it on and the design and the material is ...Ā MoreI injured my knee and I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with it yet, won't have medical for a bit, but I've been suffering on and off for going on 2 months now. from the reading I've done I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the meniscus, but I could be very wrong. knee braces have seemed to help and I've been through a few of them- both simple elastic sleeves and hinged braces. some actually made it worse. my last hinged brace was from Mueller and while it helped a little bit in the beginning it wore out pretty quick.
