Thuasne Rebel Lock Speciality Knee Brace
Knee instability causes the knee to twist or move from side-to-side in unnatural ways, which causes symptoms of intense pain and discomfort. Designed to rectify the knee's mobility, the Thuasne Rebel Lock Specialty Knee Brace secures the knee in a correct position, while helping to strengthen the muscles and relieve tension on the joint.

Our Sizing Tips
- For measurements that fall between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for greater levels of comfort
- The brace is meant to be compressive and will feel tight as a result; if you would prefer less tightness, please choose a larger size
- If you do not have a flexible tape measure, use a piece of string to take your measurements, then measure the string with a ruler
- If your joints tend to swell, please take this into account before choosing your size
