They're not very restrictive with regard to doing what you need to do.
Mainly for us guys that have blown/repaired ACL/MCL or other knee injury.
A lot of guys wear them to protect from those injuries but it is no guarantee. I wore them for a few years and still tore my ACL just putting my foot out and it made contact with a dirt clod after track had been "disced" up.
I rode for nearly 30yrs without them and 4 with the 2nd gen Asterisk brand. Now I have to wear one on the repaired knee. It is a custom made and a standard of the shelf for the good knee. Both are made by CTi/Ossur.
So take it for what its worth.
