Our Icarus Stories
William O. Tynes
Roanoke, VA
“Since receiving my Icarus knee braces for both left and right knees; the bone-on-bone contact is much less now, and pain has decreased. I still have knee pain at nights while in bed, otherwise the Icarus knee braces have been a Godsend for me to have and lessen my knee pain. I thank the makers of Icarus Braces, and I hope it helps others as much as it has helped me.”

“It blew my mind how a simple iPhone scan could create a brace that fits so perfectly. The pain isn’t 100% gone yet, but it is more of an ache than it is a pain which is a big improvement. I am very pleased.”

“I am very happy with the Icarus Brace. This is my first custom fit brace. It has got me up and walking and climbing into trucks, and my pain level is down. it is worth every penny I spent on it. Also, the customer service is out of this world. Thank you.”

“My husband has been wearing Icarus knee braces for about 9 months and I can see a huge difference in his balance. When he first started wearing them it was just for when he was active in sports. We started to notice that his knees would buckle underneath him and he would almost fall. He now wears the knee braces daily and has been for a little while. These braces not only help with his balance but also any discomfort that he may have. I highly recommend the Icarus knee braces for anyone with knee issues.”

“I’ve gone the gambit of braces… big, bulky, hot, uncomfortable braces. I’ve tried injections and shots, Motrin, naproxen, Voltaren gel. And everything seemed to kind of die off… it worked for a little bit, but never long term. I was seen by a wonderful doctor at the Richmond VA Clinic. And he understood that my desire was never to be constantly on medication. I really do appreciate him… and very much, because it was the beginning of trying out the Icarus brace. The Ascender knee brace helped me regain my independence, which then helped me regain my life.”

“I have nerve pain and instability in my left leg. When I started wearing my brace, I noticed my pain disappear almost instantly. Now I wear my brace almost every day and my knee doesn’t give out anymore. Thank you for making a brace that actually works.”

“My case is probably not typical of most users. The Ascender knee brace was prescribed for me to assist with stability of my left leg. I had extensive femoral nerve damage from EcMo when in hospital, which rendered me unable to walk due to lack of movement in the left leg along with extreme muscle atrophy. As the muscle has improved over time, so has the nerve damage, but not as fast. I’m still a year out from when the doctors believe my nerve recovery will be. The Ascender knee brace provides my knee the stability I need to avoid buckling and collapsing when I am walking. Walking unassisted, which 6 months ago I was unable to do!! I have progressed from wheelchair to now walking 2+ miles 5x a week at just under 3mph. A neurologist going over the EMG results of my case exclaimed to the PA “he’s WALKING?!?!?” Once I received my brace, the PTs at Sheltering Arms said they felt comfortable with me returning to my own place, living independently. My sisters have appreciated having me back on my own, almost as much as I have. :)”

“I think this is a great company and the customer service is fantastic. If anyone is in need of a good knee brace this should be the place to go. The brace is built out of great material. Unfortunately I have to get my knee replaced but if my doctor recommends a brace for my rehabilitation I will definitely be using this one.”
