BAUERFEIND Sports Compression Knee Support

Product Information

Sinclair JK, et al. (2016). Influence of a knee brace intervention on perceived pain and patellofemoral loading in recreational athletes. The third reason people might use a knee brace is to manage chronic conditions like arthritis, by helping to reduce pain and inflammation. These braces need to be comfortable to wear for long periods and also flexible enough to not unduly restrict movement, while being more supportive than a basic sleeve support. What type of knee support should I buy?

Powers C, et al. (2004). The effect of bracing on patellofemoral joint stress during free and fast walking. The goal of all of the knee braces on this list is to help the tendons and ligaments in your knee stabilize the joint. Most braces stabilize by compression or through straps that tighten around your knee. When your joint is stabilized, it may minimize the pain you feel as you go about your day.Khosravi M, et al. (2021). Effect of knee braces and insoles on clinical outcomes of individuals with medial knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Improved confidence and increased coordination

It’s also important to get the right size of knee brace. Most will have a sizing guide, so grab a tape measure and make sure you get a snug, but not uncomfortable, fit. If your foot goes numb, it’s too snug. Some knee supports have adjustable velcro straps, but compression sleeves tend not to be adjustable. 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. For people with rheumatoid arthritis, some rheumatologists prescribe medical-grade braces as a first-line treatment for pain in the knee. This product is not suitable for knee injuries stand alone and should be complimented with a more suitable product. For any injured knees please refer to our Train Line of products that can be found here.

I own almost every color of this knee brace ,the torn meniscus is gone but I still wear this.. as a runner you still get aches and pains in your knees maybe it’s a placebo ,I don’t know ..but I refused to not wear my knee brace on long runs.. I have recommended this to so many other runners during races.. if they forget the name of it ,I’ve had so many people send me private messages and ask me. About the knee brace I was wearing and told them about, there are no pads or wires or anything in this knee brace ..it is so comfortable I have worn it as long as 60 hours in a race, and have not felt any pain or discomfort at all .. The Compression Knee Support features medical grade compression technology and is everything neoprene is not - lightweight, breathable and anatomically-contoured for a perfect fit. The compression increases the supply of oxygen to the working muscles of the knee. This increased oxygen supply helps to improve muscle endurance and decrease muscle fatigue after exercise. The controlled compression improves the knee’s ability to maintain maximum movement stability during sporting activities. Another common use for knee braces is to rehabilitate the knee after a serious injury or surgery. If you’re recovering from an ACL injury, for example, then you’ll need a sturdier brace than those who are wearing one in the hope of nursing injuries through activities, because braces for rehab will be designed to limit the knee’s movement to protect it. https://journals.lww.com/ajpmr/abstract/2011/03000/efficacy_of_knee_braces_and_foot_orthoses_in.9.aspxWhat we liked: Unloader-style knee braces undoubtedly have the most clinical research supporting their effectiveness in treating arthritis pain. As mentioned, some studies even indicated that they may delay knee surgery. I went to the doctors to have them look at my knee.. I said I had A 150 mile trail race in 90 days ,and they needed to take care of this knee.. two days before my race they decided I had a torn meniscus ..(at first it was arthritis.. so they said and I needed surgery )
