B.) Take a circumference measurement at your knee center. Again, keep this on record.

C.) Lastly, it is important to complete this process by recording what your circumference measurement is 6" below your knee center. (Again, 6" is equal to 15cm.)

2.) Now That You Have Recorded Your Measurements...

After taking your measurements and recording them, you can go online to many knee brace shops and figure out what size brace you will probably need. - Many times, the measurement 15cm above your knee center is all you will need, but having the remaining two measurements will be of great help.

3.) Custom vs Non-Custom Knee Supports (How To Choose)

Most of the time you will be able to find a well-designed, "non-custom" knee support that will help provide you with the support you need. These braces are far less expensive than custom knee braces, and most of the time people do not need to spend a ton of cash on a custom knee support. - Just a word to the wise.
