In February, my best, a recommended product comparison website, ranked BAUERFEIND GenuTrain® as No. 1 in the 'Best Support for Knee' category of its Knee Support Recommended Rankings (conducted by "my best")!

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at what GenuTrain^® is and how it works.
* For your reference, please check out this related article as well.

What factors do you consider when selecting Knee Support?

Developing your muscles while ensuring knee stability during movement is very important. The GenuTrain^® provides targeted compression around the joint area, helping to stabilize and support the surrounding muscles.

What is GenuTrain^® Support About?

GenuTrain^®

GenuTrain^® is designed using flat knit technology.

This is a support made using a flat knit technology, which allows it to be knitted in an anatomical shape to match the form of the knee, thereby enabling it to provide comprehensive support to the entire knee joint.

It fits snugly around the knee and delivers targeted compression to specific muscle groups.

What Gives It Its Strong Supoort?

As with all of Bauerfeind products, the knit with a flat-knit construction is designed to create anatomically contoured supports.  The 3D anatomically-contoured knit ensures optimal support and stability across the knee joint.

By varying the level of compression in different zones, the support stimulates sensory feedback in the muscles, helping to activate them and allowing you to stabilize your knee using your own muscular strength.

How does the Ω+PAD (Omega Plus Pad), integrated into GenuTrain^®, function?

Ω+PAD (Omega Plus Pad)

The knee features an integrated silicone pad called the Ω+PAD (Omega Plus Pad), which helps securely hold the kneecap in its proper position. By providing targeted support to the knee, it helps reduce the strain on surrounding ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues.

Features of Ω+PAD (Omega Plus Pad)

Meniscus

Meniscus

They are the two blue dots with silicone nubs located on the outer side of the pad.

This component is known as Meniscus Wings. It supports the function of the meniscus by providing targeted support to both the inner (medial) and outer (lateral) menisci.

Hoffa Pad

Hoffa Pad

They are the two blue dots with silicone nubs located on the lower inside of the pad.

Pinpoint compression is applied to the Hoffa's fat pad (infrapatellar fat pad), located just below the patellar tendon. This fat pad contains various receptors that contribute to the restoration and enhancement of proprioceptive function.

What is proprioception and why does it matter for the body?

Have you ever heard of a bodily function called 'proprioception'?

Proprioception is the sense that allows you to perceive the position, movement, and tension of your muscles and joints.

This sense plays a crucial role in controlling force and maintaining balance. It is also said that proprioception can be diminished due to injuries or other physical damage, reducing the signals sent to the brain.

However, it is said that adding tactile stimulation and compression can help promote recovery.

By providing tactile stimulation through its knitted fabric and applying compression, GenuTrain^®　 supports the regeneration of proprioception and contributes to knee joint stability.

Summary

• This knee support suitable for a wide range of issues and feelings of instability around the knee joint.
• Appropriate compression and silicone pads contribute to knee joint stability.
• Tactile stimulation through its knitted fabric and compression helps restore and enhance proprioception
• Helps reduce strain on the knee and supports you in both daily life and sports.

We hope you try out GenuTrain that ranked No. 1 in the 'Best Support for Knee' category of its Knee Support Recommended Rankings (conducted by "my best").
