Do yourself a favor and get this brace if you have a worn hip joint.
Due soon for a hip replacement, I tried the brace. By adjusting the brace to apply pressure to the hip socket area, I was able to walk with little or no pain. It is a bit bulky, but when outside or sitting in a chair it helped me get about. I did have to raise /lower the belt so it applied pressure to the joint. This product sells for $399 other sites. Mine was $99
