DonJoy Playmaker II Knee Brace - All Questions

What is the best material when the brace is used in the summer time?
I see 2 options, Neoprene and spacer.

We just ordered the Playmaker II Spacer Wrap knee brace for my daughter. It is sliding down on her when she plays. Is the sleeve style Playmaker any better for staying put? It feels pretty snug to do up, so I don't know if the next size down would work. Or is there something we can put with it to keep it from sliding down? Thank you!

I ruptured my posterior cruciate ligament a couple of years ago and have a good deal of knee instability. I am looking for a knee brace that will stabilize my patella as well as the remainder of my knee. I need it for activities of daily living and working out at the gym for achieving fitness, I am not an extreme athlete! Which version of the Playmaker II will give me the best patella support? The sleeve or the wrap around? Is this the right brace for me?

I ruptured my acl in both knees (left 10 yo, right 5yo). I did significant additional damage to meniscus, MCL and LCL with each injury. I am currently hiking the AT and have over 400 miles. I am experiencing significant and debilitating pain on steep downhills. The patella is involved but also experiencing pain and swelling above the knee cap on the lateral/outsides of the knees. Left knees more so than right knee.

Which brace do you recommend? Material breathability is important as well as stability in positioning of brace. I am looking for comfort, non abrasive brace for long distance backpacking.

Thank you!

Hi, I had a ACL Surgery 8 months ago the doctor says that I recover my stability and fell good about it.
,I practice kitesurfing in salty water, does the hinge gets rusty?. I still have some pain in my knee since I need more strength on my quadriceps. do you recomend this Playmaker II knee brace or I should go for the web knee brace?

Thanks in advance

Is this a good brace for surfing? I have knee instabilities due to an old acl injury but I can't give up surfing! What options should I select so that I could use this in salt water

I had my knee buckle during soccer a few days ago, and strained the LCL (but no damage to any other knee ligaments). I'm looking for a brace to provide some stability for walking and hiking for the next couple months. Would this brace be a good option?

Good morning,
My name is Fred and lives in Mauritius, Indian Ocean. My son has a partial acl tear in his right knee and has not undergone surgery. He is on rest since end March ths year. I have read about DonJoy Playmaker II knee brace. Is it the right one to be choosen to help him to restart playing football ? Is it adviseable to play with it or for jogging only?

Thanks.

I had ACL surgery a year ago. I am still working on rehabilitation to get back to quick lateral movements, sudden stop and go movements, and jumping/landing at full speeds for both basketball and snowboarding. I am a very aggressive athlete and I researched on google and found that this ACL knee brace was highly rated.

1) I was wondering for the two sports that I will be planning to do regularly, which specific options would be best for me on this knee brace?
I'm assuming the drytex would be the ideal material. I am wondering if the sleeve would be a good choice...I have worn knee sleeves before that I bought at Walmart, I'm not sure if theyre too small but after 30 minutes to an hour of play it feels like it is cutting blood circulation off and also irritating my skin.

2) Also what is the difference between the playmaker and this playmaker 2?

Hello,
I had a ACL surgery 9 months ago and I've been recovering well, but I still feel my knee a little bit weird during pivot shifts and it clicks when I flex after being hyperextended. I used to play team handball (contact sport) and I want to know which brace will be better for me.
Thank you
