Medical-Grade Relief and Stability
The GenuTrain knee brace provides secure support for mild instability and relieves knee pain and swelling. With an Omega+ Pad, the knee support provides targeted stimulation to sensitive areas of the knee that influence pain perception and mobility.
Its anatomically contoured knitted fabric, with a soft, textured surface, delivers a gentle massaging effect while promoting proprioception during movement. Embedded stays with flexible bending zones and donning and doffing aids ensure a secure fit and make the support easy to put on and take off.
The GenuTrain is soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, especially in the sensitive area at the back of the knee, for all-day wearing comfort.
Improves Circulation and Proprioception
With medical-grade compression provided by a comfortable knitted fabric, the GenuTrain knee brace produces intermittent massage during movement, relieving knee pain and stimulating the body’s metabolic response. This improves circulation to bring more oxygenated blood to the affected tissue and reduces pain and swelling in and around the knee.
The GenuTrain’s uniquely-engineered design activates the body’s own stabilization mechanisms: Its soft knitted fabric is anatomically contoured to ensure full contact with the skin, engaging proprioceptors that send signals to the brain. This feedback leads to improved control of the muscles stabilizing the joint.
The active knee support’s Omega+ Pad protects and encases the kneecap, stabilizing the joint and massaging the surrounding tissue during movement. This feature enhances the pain-relieving and sensorimotoric effect of the support by stimulating two sensitive areas of the knee: the Hoffa’s fat pad and the base of the meniscus.
In these Hoffa spots and meniscus wings, the viscoelastic gel material incorporates flexible massage nubs that provide additional selective stimuli during movement to counteract unnatural corrective habits.
Remains in Place During Activity
The GenuTrain knee support remains securely in position. Lateral plastic stays embedded in the brace have flexible bending zones that follow the user’s movement patterns and stretch the knitted fabric around the knee to prevent slippage.
Donning and doffing aids integrated into the stays make it easier to put on and take off the support. Thanks to compression-reduced edges and a soft, airier knitted comfort zone in the hollow of the knee, the GenuTrain is comfortable to wear, even during longer periods of intensive movement during the day.

Highly effective for healthy knees
After an acute injury or surgery, chronic abnormalities, osteoarthritis or instability in the knee: the GenuTrain relieves pain and promotes movement through intermittent compression massage. This puts you on the right track towards natural movement.
The ring-shaped Omega+ Pad functional cushion securely holds the kneecap in place and reduces edema and swelling. Integrated massage points with specially flexible silicone nubs target particularly painful areas. Two flexible plastic stays on the side ensure that the GenuTrain always fits perfectly. At the top and bottom, integrated grips make it easier to put on and take off the support.
Fit again fast
Your body needs to learn how to move naturally again as quickly as possible and avoid incorrect postures adopted to help relieve pain. The Train knit fabric repeatedly stimulates the skin, which promotes movement perception, activates the muscles and stabilizes the joint.
Two massage points called meniscus wings on the sides of the knee provide a targeted pain-relieving effect around the joint space and the menisci. Two additional massage points, the Hoffa spots, stimulate the infrapatellar fat pad with controlled pressure. This has a significant metabolic function and promotes the self-healing process in the knee.
The GenuTrain allows physiotherapy and gentle training to be started at an earlier stage. This enables your knee to recover thanks to active movement. After all, you know that being active is key to good health!
